Social media and the influence of that sought-after ‘Hollywood smile,’ have made us more conscious about our teeth. More and more people are seeking cheap dental treatment abroad and are becoming 'dental tourists', but all is not always rosy in these sunny destinations.

 

In recent years there has been an increase in countries that are advertised as destinations for dental tourists, Turkey, India and Hungary in particular. Dental treatment often costs less in dental tourism destinations but some thought is needed. There are many potential risks associated with travelling for dental care and no amount of research can guarantee high quality treatment.
