Yes, I've had dental work in Canada. I've also seen doctors in foreign countries (unplanned visits) and it was soooo much cheaper. I get medications in other countries sometimes too. My husband had his eye surgery in Canada and I have some friends who had some plastic surgery in the Brazil.

I get a sailing magazine that includes a lot of trip reports from cruising families and couples who are just sailing their way around the world. Often, these people have medical problems that require care wherever they might be and because most of them are on tight budgets they have no medical insurance. I've heard some remarkable stories of the wonderful and inexpensive care received around the world.
