Should I make an appointment before visiting my dentist?
Should I make an appointment before visiting my dentist?
Do you ask yourself, should I make an appointment before visiting my dentist? Doing your research and booking your appointment with your dentist early on before travelling to Mexico has a lot of benefits. However, you may be surprised that the answer to this question is either a yes or no, but probably it depends on the situation you are in.
If you plan to visit your dentist during peak season (December-March) in Mexico or particularly in Los Algodones, then you probably need to book an appointment. At this time, expect that there arelong border waits and clinic waits. Most hotels and restaurants are jam packed too so it’s better to book early not just your dentist’s appointment, but also your reservations for airfare and hotel accommodation. This will help avoid the long waits so that you can still enjoy your dental experience.
If you’re just travelling to Mexico for a dental cleaning, you can go to the dentist without making an appointment.
If you’re travelling to Mexico to have specialty dentistry work done like placing veneers or a root canal (or any dental procedure that needs numbing or sedation), then the best way would be to research beforehand and book an appointment. In fact, you also need to go one step ahead to make sure you get to book the exact dentist you need.
Another situation to consider is that most special procedures involve pain and you might need asedative or anxiolytic like Valium. In Mexico, sedation and nitrous oxide (gas) is not a standard procedure unlike in Canada and the US where you can opt to be sedated for every treatment, even when your dentist is placing a simple dental filling on one tooth.
However, you can opt to have a local anesthetic but for patients who require anxiety or sedation, it is important to book and research for a dentist who performs this or can contact a licensed anesthesiologist beforehand, so your treatment will be less stressful. This way, your dentist will know what to do in case you need sedation and the licensed anesthesiologist will be contacted beforehand.
If you’re just travelling to Mexico for a dental cleaning or any simple dental procedure, you can go to the dentist without booking an appointment. Because of the array of dental offices that can provide this simple dental service, you can just be a walk-in patient! In 15-20 minutes you might be done and you can go back to enjoy that margarita or fish tacos you’ve been craving for in Mexico!

3 Simple Ways to Verify Your Dentists License
3 Simple Ways to Verify Your Dentists License
Before booking a dentist in Mexico, it’s a must to verify your dentist’s licensure credentials to ensure your safety during a procedure. Here are 3 simple ways to verify your dentist’s license to practice dentistry without being too nosy.
First, let us know some important details of your dentist’s license. In Mexico, if a dentistry applicant wants to practice dentistry in Mexico, he or she must pass an exam provided by the Colegio Nacional de Cirujanos Dentistas (CNCD) to be fully certified.
Usually, after passing the dentistry board exam, your dentist receives a registration certificate from the licensing board indicating his name, certifying he has passed the exam. Also, license details(name, address, birthdate, license number, legal professional title) are often placed on an ID format so that in case the license needs verification, he can just show it.
Here are ways you can check your dentist’s license, without being too inquisitive.
- Visit your dentist’s clinic. When you’re at the dentist’s clinic, check if your dentist’s registration certificate is displayed in its premises. Most dentists display it because it adds credibility if they do. Sometimes, some assertive patients ask about and would like to see their registration certificate.
- Check the ID badge. In most medical centers or hospitals, they require their health workers, like doctors and dentists to wear their licenses like their ID badges. So that just in case their credibility is questioned, it can be verified easily.Most healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses and dentists reregister or renew their licenses every three years, to be able to practice their professions without legal problems.
- Verify through the accrediting board of dentistry, in their country of origin. If you are still unsure of your dentist’s credibility to practice, you can verify his or her license through websites of the accrediting board of dentistry. You need to input the following data such as profession, license type, last name, first name, license number, county, city, state, and zipcode.
In Mexico, the Asociación Dental Mexicana (ADM) or Mexican Dental Association is the regulating body that standardizes high ethical standards and practice of dentistry in Mexico. As a member of ADM, a dental practitioner must undertake 40 hours of continuing education every two years to be able to maintain professional membership. ADM highly values and encourages continuing education to maintain professional dentistry competence and standards. If you have questions or wish to verify dentist’s license, you can call or check the websites of the associations they belong to.
For orthodontists, you can check at Asociación Mexicana de Ortodoncia (AMO), for pediatric dentists, verify at Academia Mexicana de Odontología Pediátrica (AMOP) and lastly, if he is a periodontist, check at Consejo Mexicano de Periodoncia (CMP).
