Any suggestions on a Zihua dentist for a standard cleaning??? So expensive here in the States.

EIRA dental group, see their site on Facebook. They are fabulous and their new building with the latest, greatest equipment opened July of last year. I trust them completely and I'm a dentist woosie.

A friend visits me in Troncones specifically to have dental work done at Eira. OK, that’s an exaggeration. He visits me because he enjoys Troncones so much. But he says that the savings by having his dental work done at Eira pays for his flights. So far he has had one crown done and one implant.
As an aside, he visited me in Troncones in 2012 and said he could never return. He was too distressed by seeing the many stray dogs; mang;, skinny; weak from intestinal parasites and heart worm; I healed broken bones. My friend was heartbroken.
Shortly after the volunteer charitable organization, Surfers for Strays, started working, including organizing low-cost/free spay and neuter clinics. It took 10 years to convince my friend to return and he acknowledges that regarding pet health, Troncones is a completely different place.
It’s not that there is no more work to be done, but with volunteer efforts and donations (hint, hint) that work can continue.

Things have changed dramatically for the better in some areas. Last week, over 2 days, 182 dog and cat sterilizations were performed in Zihua. 70 were female dogs!!!! http://www.spazihua.org/

And where/when was the sterilization advertised? In my neighborhood there are five running the streets and the OWNER claims they are not his. I consulted DIF and got a neg. response.

It was on the radio and in social media, but mostly word of mouth. They filled their bill rather quickly.
DIF has nothing to do with stray dogs, and the department that does has no idea what to do with them other than to kill them. So most of us simply tolerate them. Their living situation is not their fault and they don't deserve to be killed.
OK, but DIF does set up sterilization campaigns in and around the city because I've received such info from them in the past. Perhaps casa marinas' campaigns are totally separate, I don.t know. Your second paragraph regarding strays, I agree with completely. The six I currently have are all from the street and are all my family. The other five (mentioned previously) are currently receiving food and water daily from me. They are the ones which could have benefited from the sterilization campaign, had I known. These five are all fertile !!!

If the message could be publicly promoted that having a dog spayed or neutered would make them a healthier pet it might go a long ways towards getting public acceptance and participation. I have had two german shepherds in Zihua over 8 years and I have been frequently asked if I want to breed them. When I decline and explain the dogs were neutered, I am usually faced with confused looks for desiring not to have a puppy mill.

Is this the office of Dentista Elizabeth Ortiz on Antonio Nava? It appears they just recently moved as the last time I walked by their office, their mural was no longer on the front of the building. (Sorry, I don't do Faceplant and the system won't let me see all the info.)
I totally agree with Talley Ho's recommendation. I was in serious distress and they bent over backwards to attend to me, even on the weekend. The out-of-pocket expense was more than reasonable. When I got back to my dentist in the States, my dentist said they had done excellent work.
Best of luck and many wishes for no pain!

Yes, this is Dr. Elizbeth's new facility.

EIRA is extremely overpriced.

I was very happy with the work and the price and the help above and beyond the call of duty that I received from the office of Doctura Ortiz. In fact, when I first arrived at their office in tremendous pain with a swollen jar after an agonizing overnight flight, I literally felt as though this would be what a dental office in heaven would be like. I was surrounded by competent, caring, attentive women. The pharmaceuticals were not too shabby, either.

Although EIRA may be higher priced for simple procedures, my friend who had a crown done and an implant said that the equipment was superior to that of his dentist in Canada and far less pricey.

Or in Ixtapa, Cerio in Los Patios. They recently moved to the back side of Los Patios that faces the putt putt golf. Adolfo and his wife are both dentists. I'm thinking cleaning was 800 pesos last year. I have used him to do an implant after I bit down on pizza crust that had a pebble in it which caused a tooth to fracture. Very satisfied.

I went to this dentist today. He's great. $500 pesos for a cleaning. Dr. Jose Alejandro Martinez 755-557-9462.
