I was lucky, as my Aunt and Uncle had their boat in Guayamas and let me stay with them. It also helped that he went to the Dentist there before I arrived and could vouch for their modernity.
The Endodontist had the same computer setup as my Dentist here had, and the drugs were better, as I felt nothing. Here, I would always put up with a little bit to moderate amount of pain, because I didn't want to be raped up the ass anymore than necessary.
/rant against my Calgary Dentist telling me about his Q-School son's golfing career that I was financing while he was inflicting pain on me.

Maybe it worked for you, but some of these countries have sketchy dental service so I wouldn't advise it to everyone. I worked closely with a few Dentists and have seen many terribly done root canals that can cause infections and many bad bad things. If you look at the X-ray's, a properly done root canal will reach all the way to the roots with nothing else showing. Sometimes you won't feel these problems for a few years but when it decides to act up, you'll be sorry.
However, I hear if you can't wait for surgeries or afford them/from the States, going to other countries can substantially reduce cost as much a ten's of thousands and the end result is the same. Such as valve replacements and bypasses.
So really what I'm trying to say is if you are going to get any medical work done in another Country, make sure the Doctor knows what he's doing.
