OK--so we were thinking of staying in Yuma next winter, but we could go to Texas. Any suggestions on a good park to stay at and also a name of a good dentist? Thanks

Just be careful. Go to google and type "China dental crowns and lead" You will find that a lot of the crowns from China are imported to Mexico, US, and other contries carry lead in them. These crowns are 90% cheaper then can be made with gold. Ask your dentist where they get their crowns, but a china crown costs about 40 dollars. This is one of the reasons a crowns total cost is less in Mexico, then I am able to buy from it from a US lab.

Do the search.... Good luck....

Sounds like this is a problem in the USA too.

It is a huge problem in USA. But remember if your crown costs me 40 dollars, I can turn around and sell it for around 200. If your crown costs me about 200 Then I turn around and sell it for 800. All my patients get a sticker that has what the crown is made of, and where it is made. All my crowns are made in USA. All I was bringing to your attention was to ask and get proof where you crowns are made from. The vast majority of crowns in Mexico are made in China. They have to be to offer the prices they do.

Good Luck.....
