What If I Need Follow-Up or Experience Complications During My Return Trip?

Receiving dental treatment in Tijuana can be convenient and affordable, but some patients may wonder what to do if they need follow-up care or experience complications while traveling back to the United States.

At Dental Artistry Tijuana, we understand that crossing the border after a dental procedure can raise questions and concerns. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you handle any situation that may arise during your return trip.

🦷 Is It Common to Need Follow-Up After Dental Treatment?

Yes, some procedures, especially more complex ones like implants, extractions, or oral surgeries, may require follow-up to ensure proper healing.

🌟 What Should I Do If I Experience Complications on My Way Back?

1. Stay Calm and Assess Your Symptoms:

• If you experience severe pain, abnormal swelling, or persistent bleeding, the first step is to stay calm.
