@chadloder I used to cross the border to Nogales for dental cleaning. Was the best. $25+$15 for x-rays. No B.S., no upselling, no 3 hour call arguing with my insurance.
Generally the cartels are interested in keeping the streets safe for Americans. They have to launder that drug money somehow and tend to also own a portfolio of dentist offices, resorts, etc. that Americans frequent.
Hence the cartel turning in their own guys after this incident. "Don't F with gringos" is good businesses.
