After having spent a hefty sum of money that would have otherwise been invested in a new antique china cabinet, your Aunt Sally smiles broadly and proudly to make sure everyone sees her new set of pearly white teeth. Friends and family do not fail to notice this and she makes sure that they don’t. Then she finds out that she could have spent the same amount of money on a nice tropical vacation and at the same time get a veneer for that rotting tooth which has been pestering her for ages. Her next door neighbor Matilda makes sure to rub this in every time she gets the chance. A nice tropical vacation and a trip to the cosmetic dentist? If that sounds out of this world and something new, it isn’t. For decades now, people have been crossing the border just to go to Mexico for inexpensive dental services and at the same time spend the rest of the day frolicking at the beach in Acapulco for some rest and recreation. This is aptly referred to as Dental Tourism.
If you do not have dental insurance or if you have one but it does not cover elective dental procedures such as teeth whitening, gum lifts, having a set of braces, dental bridges and having veneers placed over a tooth, then you are not alone. Add to the fact that you will need to spend an outrageous sum just to get your teeth tidied up is another factor which will make you run away rather than run to a cosmetic dentist. This is when the though of Dental Tourism gets pretty attractive. You save a considerable sum of money getting your teeth fixed by a competent dentist abroad and at the same time enjoy a nice vacation. With this in mind, skip Mexico and try visiting the Philippines instead. There are several highly professional and well-trained cosmetic dentist practicing in the Philippines and numerous tourist spots you can visit there is a guarantee that you will get the best value for your money.
