Is it safe to get tooth extraction in San Miguel de Allende?
That depends on the dentist doing it. San Miguel de Allende has licensed, well-trained dentists, and it also has people working without a licence; a nice waiting room does not tell them apart.

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.
