Herman Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’m wondering what the cost is for a standard dental cleaning. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 We go across the border in Tamaulipas and it is 25dls. It’s probably cheaper down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Dr. Haro's office now charges 600 pesos and I think that is probably the most expensive but it's a half a block away from me and I've been going to him since 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Our dentist uses a trained dental hygienist and she does a very thorough job. When the dentist does it himself he is not as thorough. I don’t know Dr. Haro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 It is not Dr. Haro who does the cleaning. He has a trained dental hygienist that's why I said "Dr. Haro's office". She's very thorough and shows you a before and after digital photo. I've been getting my teeth cleaned every six months for most of my life. She's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanparys Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 At Dr Haro's office, Dr Pilar cleans our teeth... Extremely efficient but gentle... Highly recomend her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I agree. She is very gentle and she used to do my teeth but, this year, I have been handed over to someone new there. She has been doing the cleaning in an dental cubicle upstairs. That's OK for me but anyone who is not as mobile had better say so when making an appointment.

ibarra Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 We paid 300 recently at Dra. Candy's. A dentist did the cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Dental Express 190 pesos. There are no dental hygienists in Mexico, just technicians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 In the US that’s the way it started. X-ray techs, respiratory techs, instrument techs, etc. all started with on the job learning until formal schooling was developed. The technician that I used, although not a dental hygienist, did attend a formal program at a local college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if it was Juan who cleaned your teeth, he is not a dentist. He is a student and does not have a licence to practice anything yet.

A female DENTISTA did. Candy introduced her to us some time ago. We have been going to Candy since she opened an office lakeside many years ago. Know her and her family. So, your comment "be careful " should apply to those making statements without knowing the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Dra. Candy’s brother has not been to her office for a long time. He’s still in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
