Default dental work in Juarez????

I work for a company that has two manufacturing plants in Juarez , Mexico. You cross the border from El Paso, Texas into Juarez. I have been going there for 15 years, once or twice a month.

Juarez Mexico is the second most dangerous city in the world when measured by murders per capita. I am not allowed to drive alone or at night, not advised to wear anything with a logo that identifies the company I work for as it may make me a kidnapping /robbery target.

The Sun Bowl is played New Years Eve in El Paso and they do not let the athletes go into Juarez, the military base in El Paso - Fort Bliss, does not allow military personnel to go into Juarez.

Just recently the US customs guy at the border asked me if I came to Juarez voluntarily or was required to...(BTW I am required to if I want to keep my job)

The dental facilities are along the road, in gas stations, raw concrete block buildings, hand painted signs, etc. To be fair, I have never been in one but I do not need to....

Your really need to reconsider having dental work done in Juarez.It is a very dangerous place and the health care standards are well below ours.
