How about some ballpark numbers. I’m curious to see the breakdown. Doesn’t need to be detailed

Not OP and different medical procedure.

But my 6y/o is terrified of dentists in Houston. Several attempts to get tooth filling always fails because the dentists gave up once he starts crying. The 3 attempts at different dentists probably cost a total of $1200. Because the last attempt they tried sleeping gas and insurance doesn’t think that anesthesia is required so I get to pay for it.

We flew to Indonesia for our visa renewal. Return ticket $1k each, Indonesian dentist who actually talked and communicated with my son and managed to calm him down for the procedure, $180

Since you’re so close to the border, I recommend you fly to Mexico next time. Very cheap dental prices as well

So I've heard. Will definitely look into it!
