That range is national rather than specific to León, and its source and collection date are printed under the table. Ask any practice for a written quote before you travel: a range is for budgeting, not a price.
How many trips to León does it take?
Usually one. A crown to protect the treated tooth, often in the same trip.
What should be done before travelling?
X-ray to map the canals. Antibiotics first if there is active infection.
Is it safe to get root canal treatment in León?
That depends on the dentist doing it. León has licensed, well-trained dentists, and it also has people working without a licence; a nice waiting room does not tell them apart. Check the cédula profesional in the federal registry, get the plan and the quote in writing, and ask who treats a complication once you are back home. The dentists listed on this page have their licence number and the date of the check published.
How do I check the dentist is licensed?
Ask for the cédula profesional number and the name as it appears on it, then look it up in the Registro Nacional de Profesionistas. Every dentist listed here has that number published with the date it was confirmed.
