Thanks for the kind offer, Blanca...but I have no discomfort, just some dental work I want to attend to before going on a long trip.
I have a high pain endurance level, I am told. Something akin to the alleged dinosaurs low reactions/brain synapses I think...
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

that's a relief - once I was in major pain (root canal needed) and had to endure it all the way to TJ with an overnight in Ensenada .... I actually
kneeled down to thank the individual here in town who gave me the ambesol. Now I keep a stash 
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I hate tooth pain.

Dental 911
It looks like I will be cutting/pasting info from this thread onto MS Word and making several phone calls today. Leidys has two wisdom teeth (#1,
#16) which need immediate extraction. Hope all goes well since she will need general anesthesia. Thanks for everyones help with this thread.

Today, Leidys and I visited a Doctor who would not agree to a "Free Consultation" unless he completed the work. Our "Free Estimate" at this
particular office would cost us money if we did not have this Doctor perform the tooth extractions. Catch 22. Leidys needs to have this work
performed asap since she has been in pain since last Thursday. Therefore, I will be following up on these referrals and try to make a decision later
this evening. Our other option is to wait until January 2012 to find a Doctor in Riverside who will perform the work within our budget (of approx
$2K).

To keep her pain down, Leidys is doing housework. Maybe, I should postpone this
work to see how much work she can complete!

plus we had his teeth cleaned at the same time
Cost $ 125.00 for every thing, exrays, extraction, cleaning, they also gave him a RX for antibodies, for this was about $10.00

Happy Holidays?
Today, I purchased pre-paid phone cards and my Wife began making phone calls.
Happy Holidays! Dentists are at home with their families. 
Tomorrow, I will make more telephone calls, but it looks like she will not get her dental work performed until after January 1st.

Leidys wants to say, "Thank You!"
Leidys is thankful for all of the nice people on BajaNomad. She could not afford to have this work completed in Colombia. Her family did not have
the resources to take care of dentistry, but we plan on combining our Christmas money to arrange some sort of dental care for Leidys a.s.a.p. Because
we have our Passports and love being in Mexico (whenever possible), having our healthcare needs.
Thank you, Baja Nomad!

Just for perspective, a prominent dentist in Guaymas who is very popular with the gringos over here just quoted me 16,000 pesos for an implant and
crown, all-inclusive. I received this quote about three weeks ago. So, at about 13.5/1, that's a little under 1200.00US.
He also quoted a permanent bridge at 8,700 pesos.This would be the type that compromises the teeth on either side of the missing tooth; not a Maryland
bridge, which is what I have had for the last 13 years.
Problem is, the teeth on either side are virgin teeth; 2 of the last 4 teeth in my head that have had NO work done on them. This is the reason my US
dentist recommended the Maryland bridge. It was supposed to last 10 years; it lasted 13, so I really cant complain.
But I need to make a decision on this. Anyone out there who has had a bridge and then went to an implant on the same tooth (area) and who can compare
what living with each is like? Are implants completely maintenance free? Do the crowns come off, occasionally? At these prices, money is no object.

Let's hope that this Dentist can work for us. These holidays are making it nearly impossible for Leidys to gain access to a Dentist since most are on
vacation.
