    The equipment is approximately $400-$1000, and root canal is anywhere from $600-$1600. Maybe they got a bad price and decided it would be cheaper to do it themselves?

        Assuming you want to got to, say, Mexico city, it costs a little over $800. The root canal in Mexico cost $250-$500, making the total cost $1050-$1300. Unless they are already in Mexico, I don’t think this is any better of an option.

          To add to this: if there are any complications they will have to return to Mexico to have the same dentist address them. Or go to a different dentist and pay full price to have them fix it again.

          And dental care in Mexico is spotty. I’ve seen good work that was done there but I’ve also made a lot of money fixing shitty work that was done there.
