Dental tourism

NOGALES, SONORA, MEXICO (Tucson News Now)- Every day people cross the border into Mexico. Some go for a nice Mexican meal or to buy jewelry, but other people have an appointment to get to.

On the streets of Nogales, Sonora it was hard to find an American not in town to see the dentist.

"I was surprised when we walked into the waiting room that the whole place was filled with Green Valley people," said Rosie Kaiser.

"They have real vanilla here. It's a fraction of the cost. But, I also come here for the dentist. I go to the orthodontist. I pay $6,000 in the states and here I'm paying $1,350," said Maryann Kinzel.

A few steps from Arizona is a world of different in sights, sounds and prices for dental care.

Dr. Ernesto Quiroga in Nogales, Sonora said, "The prices in Mexico is very good deal for everybody. It's the regular price for Mexico but in United States, they charge a little bit more."
