Dental Vacation Excitement?

Image
January 2019 visit! So.... I get stressed out-- I grind my teeth beyond belief. I break teeth off and it becomes an absolute NIGHTMARE.   Not to mention an EMERGENCY.... So, while visiting Ohio for Christmas... I was under an immense amount of stress, it happened-- I BUSTED my tooth right off! I immediately called my dentist in Cancun and made an appointment! Since I was going, my mother tagged along too! (It's True.. I love my dentists..#WEIRD) How did the trip go for me? Well IT WAS FREE!!!   HOW? ---- It was found that I chipped an EXISTING crown that I had done at Ocean Dental Cancun--> they replaced it--> for free. "In 8 years I never had to fall back on the dentist's guarantee on their work"  .... honestly, I have no idea what is going on with my teeth. They could have charged me full price and I would have had no clue. Anyway ME AND MOM   My mom's first trip to Ocean Dental Cancun was successfu...

Click here to submit month and week that work for you!   Let  US  get the show on the road  y'all !  Making an appointment to ANY dentist gives me a "BLEH" feeling...   Just dialing the number is a #nothanks #HARDPASS.  This is not even mentioning how you feel once THAT DAY actually arrives👀( Then what if you have to go back or something...OMG)  ANYWAY,  Let the DentalVAYCay planning process begin. TOO many people ask me for help getting this right, so I decided to make a trip out of it myself and accompany everyone else who is want to go! First things first! We need to figure out which dates work best! Strength in numbers here! The dental coordinator at Ocean Dental Cancun ALWAYS  arranges airport pickups, pickups for appointments and they even offer housing services as well!  While that is awesome!!! I have found my friends and family still would feel more comfortable if I could go with them!   ...

If you have to go to the dentist... is it wrong to enjoy it?

I have no idea where I developed such a nasty fear of the dentist during my childhood. I know they are nice people, but thinking about going to the dentist literally would make me sick growing up. Now, as an adult, I KNOW why the dentist's office makes me cringe...  It is the source of bad news, uncontrollable costs, and pain. There is nothing like going to the dentist, having them poke around in your mouth for $150.00 bucks, elaborate on all the costly issues they found that you will not be able to afford, and leave depressed and in pain. #nothanks. After living abroad in Mexico, I began to realize healthcare, in general, was just different. I almost PASSED OUT, when I called my Mexican dentist to ask how much 2 fillings and a cleaning would be! I actually got the  "Worst case scenario price", and the "best case scenario price." We know here in the states the first question is... What insurance do you have? We would like to take you ...
