What it is
A root canal removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and usually ends with a crown to protect the tooth. Price depends on the tooth (front or molar) and whether retreatment is needed.
Trips needed
Typically 1 to 2 visits for the root canal itself. A crown is usually a separate visit or two, which adds time and cost.
Questions to ask any clinic
- Is the price per tooth, and is it for a front tooth or a molar?
- Is a crown included, or is it a separate charge?
- What materials are used to seal the canals, and what is the warranty on the treatment?
- What happens if the tooth needs retreatment or an apicoectomy later?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist or endodontist who will treat the tooth?
Getting to Los Algodones
From Yuma, drive to the Andrade port of entry (CBP port 250201) and park on the US side, then walk across the border on foot. Parking lots on the US side are the usual option; check current parking rules and fees before you go. Walking across is the common route, and the Mexican side clinics are within a short walk. To return to the US you must show a valid passport book, a passport card (land crossings only), or a SENTRI/NEXUS card. Check the live wait times at bwt.cbp.gov before you cross, since lines can vary by time of day. Mexican entry requirements for short visits can differ depending on how far you travel from the border; confirm current rules with the Mexican government before you go.
