Hope your dentist has an air conditioned office. I bet it will be. I start to sweat as soon as I sit in the chair, regardless of the temperature. But, I recently had some excellent extensive work done in Rosarito Beach. Five appointments. Leaving the dentist office is one of the best feelings. Oh man, it's over. GREAT!

Under normal situations its very fast and a piece of cake.

Don't know with Covid, but would guess that it will be the same.

Pls report back.

Fear not the heat


Mr. Jonathon Newhouse froze to death in Death Valley on the 27th of June 1874.

He was wearing a solar armor suit the lining of which was filled with a diluted mixture of chemicals identified as Bisulphide of Carbon and Ammonic Nitrate, among a couple of others.

Moral of the story - beware of peddlers of mystical accoutrements lurking outside the dental clinic!

Newhouse story appeared in the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise newspaper July 2, 1874, in an article titled "Sad Fate of an Inventor."

Drove into the main Mexicali border crossing with our Truck Camper...Found out that if in a High Clearance RV you’re best taking the Truck Route....However we were guided to the left for Buses and we’re helped out by both the immigration and police to our route....No complaints about friendly help of the locals..., Viva Mexico....
