What? Dental Work in Mexico?

August 4, 2015

No, we aren’t crazy but we have had some dental work done in Mexico. Phil and I both went about a year ago to have some dental work done there. I know some people might question the wisdom of that but Phil needed a lot of work done which would have cost thousands of dollars here […]
