The term medical tourism has gained popularity through the years since more and more people started saving money when traveling to receive high-quality medical or dental services outside their country of residence. There are a lot of reasons why these people rather take a flight than go to a local doctor or dentist, and these reasons are mainly the advantages we will talk about in this post.
Los Algodones, Mexico
Los Algodones is a small town in Baja California, Mexico, just right next to the Yuma, AZ Border. Thanks to its convenient location it has become very popular among dental tourists, who also call this town Molar City. This name was given many years ago because the town has more than 300 dental clinics, and many of them offer the same high-quality treatments as the ones in the United States and Canada, but the prices are way more affordable. Plus, this small border town does not only has inexpensive dental care, it also has low-cost shopping places, restaurants and drug stores where you can get prescription medicines.
