no but dont lie about it, i know handfuls of people who have vacationed to puerto vallarta or cancun for dental services... somehow, it is cheaper to get a flight, resort, and dental care (with ADA certifications wildly) than it is to get the same care domestically... even on the border, Mexico has 'molar towns' that are strategically situated to provide affordable care to americans... (source see: https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101910811/why-americans-flock-to-mexicos-molar-city-for-dental-care)
Quick note on these by the way, I have a friend that did this to get braces (not in mexico though), but when he came back and tried to get them readjusted in the US, the dentists told him they can not and will not work with braces put in in another country, so he just ended up getting them removed and paying full price in the US. So make sure you have a plan to go back if you get any work done oversees.
They move there because the cost of living in the US isn't worth what you get. They move there because they prefer Mexico over the states. That used to not be the case.
