Visiting a Dentist and Optician in Mexico

Since I was long overdue for a periodontal cleaning, we thought it would be good idea to check out the cost for dental services in Mexico, or Oaxaca specifically. We asked our AirBNB host if she could recommend a good dentist and she pointed us to the dentist she used for herself and her daughters.

Places We Liked in Puerto Escondido

We were only in Puerto Escondido for a week and we spent most of our time lounging around our immediate area in Brisas de Zicatela (or La Punta, is it is commonly called) rather than trying to find tourist attractions to visit, which would have been mostly other beaches anyway.  For what it’s worth here is our list of places we enjoyed during our stay.
