Dentistry Abroad

ThemeOne

You hear a lot about people going abroad for dentistry, but I've noticed it's nearly always for cosmetic or preventative work they're choosing to have done, rather than for normal check-ups and subsequent treatment.

Has anyone gone abroad for normal dental health treatment i.e. check-ups, fillings etc, or is this just not feasible?

I assume once you factor in the cost of flights/accommodation ect it's not worth it.

My neighbour does but that is back to their county of birth and where they lived until about ten years ago.

You can get dental emergency travel kits so if you have an accident or a crown falls out whilst on holiday you can patch yourself up until you can get back home potentially saving yourself a lot of hassle and expense!
