The English patient who found the best solution for his dental treatment.

Treatment: Root canal treatment - Back teeth
Provider: Contident
Date: Sep 2014

I`ve always had sensitive teeth, and even though I pride myself in being relatively keen on my dental hygiene, once in a while I sneak in a few unhealthy habits like eating too many sugary treats, not brushing my teeth after dinner and so on. A few months ago, I was woken up by an agonizing toothache; one of my teeth had a huge cavity that I had been trying to ignore for months. Besides that tooth, I had others which had developed smaller cavities over time. The first thought that came to my mind was how I was going to afford dental treatment. I don`t have much money lying around so my best bet was to look for cheap dental treatment. My first instinct was to look into getting dental treatment abroad, as I had heard my friends talk about this before. That is how I ended up at TreatmentAbroad.com. 

To be perfectly honest, I was very skeptical about getting on a plane to seek dental treatment but I did not have many options, seeing that my finances were constrained. I found Contident through Treatment Abroad and settled for the Free Dental Consultation and Flight Package. I opted for this package because I had no prior information on Contident and I need to have a few questions answered before I could agree to the dental treatment. Besides paying for my flight and accommodation, Contident made sure my stay was pleasant and safe. I must admit, I was worried about travelling to a foreign country that I had never been to, but everybody at Contident was so friendly that my fears quickly vanished.

For my horribly decayed tooth, I had to get a root canal as the nerves and pulp were completely infected. Once I had the root canal procedure, I needed a porcelain bridge to replace the tooth. I also had some more porcelain bridges put in for my other teeth which had cavities. I found my dental vacation to Hungary very worthwhile and the best part of it was that Budapest is a really lovely city and you feel like you cannot wait to come back a second time. And perhaps I will, because prices are not just low at Contident but everywhere in Hungary. Plus the quality of services offered is high, with the dentists making use of state of the art equipment for their treatment procedures. I can honestly say that that was money and time very well spent. I`m glad I made the decision to get my dental treatment in Hungary.
