I cant afford insurance, I don't make enough money to afford state side Dental work living close to the boarder I go to MX. After 15 years of going to the same dentist in MX, I've learned the work is only going to last about 5 years and your back replacing the same work. Id like to use an USA Dentist but the prices are jacked up 4 time higher than getting the same work done in MX. Any advice ? ?

Dental schools and colleges are ALWAYS looking for "live" patients upon whom to test their training. It is almost always free or extremely nominal. Like haircuts at Barber Schools. Two dollars, tops!!!

Check for a 'sliding scale' dental clinic in your area. They will use your income to determine what percentage of your dental procedures you will be responsible to pay.

I'll try that, I live the SW corner which has a lot of Retired folks. The community is nice but the Chiropractors , Veterinarians, Dentist and others tend to jack the price up . The nearest City PHX or SD - is 2.5 hrs. away or you can cross into MX in 10 minutes. But yeah I'll look around , thanks.
