More and more people are considering dental treatment abroad. Most are attracted by the competitive prices offered in overseas destinations; others wish to combine their dental treatment with a relaxing period of recovery in a sunny climate, or with a regular holiday trip.
But for the patient considering dental treatment abroad, there may be some concerns. What are the conditions like in dental clinics overseas? Is the dentist suitably qualified?
