Don't Let the Three Stooges Tinker with your Teeth in Mexico!

Here's how to avoid scary dentists in Mexico.

You would know the Three Stooges, who wouldn't recognize them anywhere?

Would you allow the 3 Stooges to tinker with your teeth?  May seem be funny but in reality any Mexican general dentist untrained in advanced dental procedures can say "I specialize" in this or that and can twiddle with your teeth. And many trusting patients allow them to do just that.

Dental tourists patients from the USA and Canada need to be aware that things are not always the same in Mexico as back home. When you cross the border - truth in advertising rules go right out the window.

DENTAL TOURISM - Your Dental Vacation in The Philippines or Thailand

Thailand and Philippines Dental Holidays Checklist

By The Board Certified Asia Dentist Association

El Nido, Palawan

If your Sydney cosmetic dentist or Brisbane dental implant specialist is over-the-top on prices for you and even a Cabo San lucas dentist seems pricey - consider a dental holiday in Asia. Bangkok and Manila dentist prices are even less than Mexican dentist prices!

Here’s the the Board Certified Asia Dentist Association’s recommendations for patients considering a Bangkok or Manila dental vacation or dental holiday.

1. Get a price quote before taking off on an dental holiday in Asia - email a copy of your home dentist’s treatment plan, x-rays or panoramic x-ray (if available) to the dentist in Asia. Many dentists will give online estimates subject to a clinical exam.

Digital pictures of your teeth are almost as good as an in-the-chair exam. If none of the foregoing items are possible - don’t worry, x-rays (except panoramic x-rays) are inexpensive in Asia or even gratis at most Board Certified Dental Association dentist member clinics. Panoramics for dental implants etc. are only around $40Us in Asia vs. $150 -250 in the USA & Canada. Same equipment.

FIND THE BEST DENTISTS IN MEXICO CERTIFIED FOR WHAT YOU NEED - By the Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association

You can afford the best dentists in Mexico!  Here's how to find them.

Cabo San Lucas is a popular Mexico dental vacation destination

You have probably heard by now that one can get dentistry in Mexico at substantial savings for the same treatments in the US or Canada. But what about the quality?

In Mexico quality is problematic and here’s why. General dentists in Mexico untrained in dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, root canals etc. can legally attempt advanced dental procedures by practicing on unsuspecting patients.

This situation is not the result of any conspiracy, or criminality – just less consumer protection laws. It used to be the same situation in the US many decades ago.  But the Mexican government does not get in the way of any general dentists in Mexico who want to learn advanced dentistry the old-fashioned way – by trial and error on their patients (that’s you and me).

Dr. Christina Terrado - Certified Dentists Internationale

Patient Adviser for Medical and Dental Tourism

Hello Everybody!

Welcome to my post where I will present information on medical and dental tourism - from the best medical tourism places, doctors and dentists to dental tourism prices. I am a Patient Adviser for Certified Dentists Internationale' (now combined with Board Certified Mexico Dentist Association).

And I am mother of two boys with autism, professional doctor and nutritionist in the Philippines - but being a mom is the best job I have had. A sweet life.

I worked as a doctor with the Philippines Department of Health for 12 years following a dream of helping humanity. I lived that dream. I saw how it is to live the way of the Pinoy. Poor, yet they know how to laugh their cares away and generous enough to give all to those who are in need.

I have felt in my heart the honor of holding a life in my hands. Of saving that life you hold or making a difference in their life. That was one of the best chapters of my life. I have seen so much, traveled a lot, and experienced how it is to live a simple but beautiful life as a mother and helping others with their medical needs.

Now I am living my passions. WRITING, which I remember my college literature professor encouraged but I have put aside for half a lifetime. I believe I am ready now, have experience and knowledge to share and am happy to be working as a patient adviser for Certified Dentists Internationale’.

I am ALSO starting to understand autism which has been in my life since my older son was two. I never realized my denial until I accepted in my heart their neurodiversity.

People with autism are often very Intelligent persons trying to make out the world with the gifts they were given. And just like when I was a doctor I intend to make a difference in their world. My legacy to my sons. There is so much to do. And I intend to live a long life to achieve what I was created in this life for.

If you have any medical or dental needs, questions about medical or dental tourism in Mexico or Asia please feel free to contact me.

Bless all.

DENTURES MADE FROM DEAD PEOPLE'S TEETH! - Backstory on Dentures, Implants, Prices

The story of dentures is not for the faint of heart!

Here's the incredible story of the origins of dentures, the discovery of the dental implant and mini implants (4 on 1)

The pre-Roman Etruscans of Northern Italy made what are considered the first dentures out of human or animal teeth in approximately 1000 BC. George Washington, one of the more famous denture wearers wore one made of hippopotamus ivory implanted in a wooden prosthesis. These first dentures were very uncomfortable and disfigured his face.

The popularity of the use of sugar in the 18th and 19th century created a rise in the number of dentists. And the demand for replacement of the public's rotten teeth. Animal teeth tended to discolor some turning yellow or brown, others blue and would rot over time.

Waterloo teeth were teeth snatched from dead soldiers from the  Napoleonic, Crimean and American Civil Wars. Although these dentures were more comfortable than those worn by George Washington, it’s unsavory origins didn’t sit well with the toothless upper class.
