“Meet Oscar and smile Brighter, save Bigger: Quality Dental Care in Mexico!”
So, picture this: I’m down in Mexico with my group, everyone’s gearing up for bariatric surgery, and wouldn’t you know it—I start feeling a bit of a toothache! I thought, “Why not sneak off and see Pam’s dentist, Oscar?” Within minutes of arriving, I had a CT scan, a panoramic x-ray, and the not-so-great news that I needed a root canal. I was bracing myself for the whole “book-another-appointment” routine, but nope! Oscar made a quick call, and 20 minutes later, a root canal specialist showed up at his office. Just like that, I was all fixed up! Total cost? $400 US ($650NZ)for the root canal and $100 ($150NZ) for the consultation and CT scans. Not bad, right?
But that’s just the start! I’m now embarking on the grand plan to get an all-on-six implant. Basically, it’s like a super-secure, bolted-in denture that’ll be anchored into my bone. Because I’m, well, in my “mature” years, I need a sinus lift and a bone graft first—scheduled for January. From there, I’ll be adding to my dental masterpiece on each trip to Mexico through 2025 until I’ve got the whole all-on-six setup!
I did get a couple of implants in Thailand a few years back, but with age doing its thing, I figured it’s time to go for the complete arch. Here’s to future trips to Mexico, a sparkling smile, and Oscar’s VIP dental service!

I just love Thailand! Yesterday, one of my ladies, who was only getting a facelift, had an appointment to get a dental bridge. The hospital wouldn’t let her take a taxi, so they organized an ambulance and four nurses. I got to sit in the front seat next to the driver, with the blue lights flashing, for a 10-minute ride between hospitals. When we arrived, they wheeled her out on a gurney and then put her in a wheelchair. I joked with her that everyone probably thinks she was in a big accident, but it’s just the hospital’s way of being super protective and providing exceptional service.
The best part? I checked the bill, expecting a hefty charge for the ambulance and four medics, but for the round trip, it was just $25! Unbelievable!
So  been here for one week and have spent 12 hours per day at the hospital, so this morning I thought I might nip down and do two hours by the swimming pool and get a bit of sunshine….. you guessed it, hurtling down!!!!

Yesterday my group had their gastric sleeves, I went to the hospital twice at different stages and then last night again before they turned in for the night. Half of them were bright as buttons and half very groggy which is understandable. I’m back up to the hospital this morning, and according to the nursing staff some of them have been walking up and down the corridor, which is the best thing for them.
Somebody asked me what the accommodation is like prior to surgery. This is where we stay,
Travelling is a great opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, reflect on the bigger picture, and learn about the world and yourself.
I am back in Mexico this week, home to Nz next Monday, find out more about my next weight loss surgery tour in October!
