Description

So… we moved to Mexico thinking life would be simpler — until Jeff woke up with a raging toothache. 🦷

In this episode of This Might Be a Bad Idea, we share what it’s really like going to the dentist in Mexico: from walking through someone’s garage into a cave-like dental office to finding out a nerve removal costs just $50 USD. We also dive into the realities of healthcare and insurance in Mexico, how much medical care costs, and what shocked us most about paying cash for everything.

💬 Topics: dentist in Mexico • healthcare in Mexico • expat life in Mérida • moving abroad • cost of living in Mexico
