Going to Yuma/Los Algodones
I am driving from Northern Cal to Yuma to go to the dentist in Los Algodones. Would be happy to take a passenger in exchange for a dental buddy.

you should park in lot on US side and walk across unless you are going further south. all of the dentists are less than 1 block away.

Yes, that's my plan. I was hoping for a buddy togo from N Cal to Yuma and in case I needed some extra support from the dental work.

if it's bad enough to have to come back on second day you can drive across and stay in San Louis de Rio Colarado, instead of Yuma (way cheaper).
That's what I do when I'm picking up a case or 2 of Vodka at purple liquor store/pharmacy (way cheaper then Ensenada or Duty free). then I stay on MX
side and drive back to Tecate- Ensenada.

If your tooth is hurting already, get some antibiotics to rid yourself of any infection. They can't do anything for 3 days til the infection is
cleared up !!

very true. GOOD ADVICE
Oil of Clove will KO any pain. Use Q Tip to apply on pain. I tell ya....IT WORKS!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

DR SAMUEL GOMES - fluent in English - I cannot recommend him highly enough, the man was BORN to be a dentist. Spotlessly clean. very professional. and
like I said NO PAIN is his modus operandi. My kids never had a problem going to a dentist thanks to him.
His dental clinic is across from the wax museum, and near the huge arch as you cross into TJ. Unmissable. He has told us that there is only one safe
paid parking lot about 1 block from his office, it is right next to the fire station. There is a antique car for show in the parking lot. Somewhere I
have a photo, if I can find it I will add it here.
phone# 011 52 664 685-4095
address: Avenida Mexico 8236. Just head for the arch across Revolution. It is the street leading up to it.
If you have an infection - hit the anitbiotics before you go, if you can. It will save time.
