Medical Tourism may sound like an exotic, extravagant adventure. Until you realize that it is a necessity. $3000 is certainly an exorbitant amount to spend on basic dental procedures. Wait till we "unveil" the price difference! But it can only get worse from here. Over 30K for more involved procedures is not unheard of in the US. As people turn to medical tourism more and more often, they face not the question of whether to go abroad for their treatments, but where to go.
India, Indonesia, Thailand usually the first locations that come to mind. But how comfortable do you really feel going for medical treatment to these faraway lands? It is one thing to go with the tourist group, and it is completely different to find yourself in these alien lands when you are undergoing medical procedures. Everything is so different from everything we know… Mexico? Seriously? With all the travel advisories about drug related violence? Eastern Europe sounds better and better, doesn't it?

you are right about the outrages prices for basic procedures! I know some people that are forced to cash out their IRAs and 401Ks just to take care of their teeth!
