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 Nuevo Progreso
From the Rio Grande Valley, drive to the Progreso International Bridge (CBP port 230901) and park on the US side, then walk across. Check current parking rules and any bridge-area restrictions before you go. The Donna International Bridge (230902) is a nearby alternative, but it is not open around the clock. 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.
