Whilst many dentists frown upon the concept of dental tourism, nonetheless, there are thousands of people who use it. For them, dental tourism has two main appeals. The first is the opportunity to combine having dental treatment with a holiday, often in an idyllic location. The second and most likely the main reason that you’ve probably heard on a Bali blog, is that they can have dental treatment at a fraction of the cost of having it done by their usual dentist.
The cost difference often means that someone can pay for flights, accommodation and dental treatment and the total cost still comes to less than the dental treatment would be at home. Now, the caveat exists that there can be doubts and questions as to the qualifications, experience, and abilities of dentists overseas, which is why there are some tips you should follow before opting to become a dental tourist.
Research Potential Locations And Dental Practices Thoroughly: It is essential that, before you embark on having dental treatment overseas, you carry out due diligence. This includes assessing the location you are travelling to. More important is that you research potential dentists you might use for their experience, their qualifications, and reviews from their previous patients.
