ASIAN & MEXICAN DENTAL VACATIONS OFFER GREAT SAVINGS FOR SENIORS & BABY BOOMERS

Baby Boomers and Seniors can save big money going abroad for dental work - but they have to do their homework first.

Bangkok and Manila dentists are popular dental tourism destinations 

Baby Boomers,  +55,  seniors -  that ever growing segment of the US population are now going offshore in droves seeking  affordable  dentistry in  Mexico  and Asia.    They  are hoping to find good  quality  dental  care  away  from  home and are usually happy with their  results   - but  not always.  

Many are lured into clinics  owned  and  operated  by  general dentists who  in many developing nations such as Mexico -  are  permitted  to learn  advanced  dental  procedures at the patient’s expense. 

Expensive procedures  such as dental implants,  mini implants and cosmetic dental makeovers are often half  or less than  the cost for the same procedures back in the US,  Canada  or  other developed  nations.

Dental procedures and terminology can often be confusing to the patient – especially so when advertising agencies, foreign languages and consumer protection laws in different countries are involved. The biggest challenge when going abroad remains finding the right dentist for your specific needs.

Certified Dentists vs. General Dentists - Dental tourists from developed countries need to be aware that things are not always the same as back home when considering treatments by a dentist in Mexico or elsewhere offshore. General dentists with only basic dental education are permitted in many developing countries to attempt advanced dental procedures without proper training or credentialing. 

This practice is a clear violation of consumer protection laws in most developed countries - but legal in many (including Mexico) developing nations. 


Thus in Mexico a general dentist may call him or herself a specialist in implants, or endodontics without having graduated from a dental specialist college. To be Board Certified, they have to pass another battery of tests after specialist college graduation. Board tests are written, lab and oral exams given by a panel of specialists in their chosen field.

PANORAMIC X-RAY - Why You Need One by Dental Tourism News Today

My dentist wants me to have a panoramic x-ray..  What, where, why and how much?

Article by David Mandich, Health Care Travel Writer

Dental patients considering dental implants or dental travel for major dentistry are often unaware of the importance of having a strange new (since 1985) x-ray casually referred to by dentists as a pano. They toss the word around like it was a special kind of Italian bread or some kind of pantyhose everyone knows about but me.

Panoramic radiographs (aka or tomographic x-ray) show an ear to ear 180 degree view of the patient’s jaws and all the teeth as well as much of the head and neck anatomy.

The machine used is different than the standard x-ray unit as the patient generally stands while the x-ray unit travels on a semi-circular track around the patient’s head.
