Dental care abroad If you go abroad for dental care: -- Check with the appropriate government agency in the destination country about its national dentistry guidelines. -- Find out what recourse is available if something goes wrong. -- At the dental office, look for infection-control procedures, including instrument sterilization and use of protective gloves, mask and eyewear. -- A traveler's guide to dental care is available through the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures at www.osap.org. Source: American Dental Association. Why is dental cheaper in Mexico? - lower operating costs, dentists are not required have malpractice insurance, dentists are less advanced and use less expensive technology and infection control procedures. Dental treatment performed abroad although less expensive, also carries an increased number of associated complications and risks. Travel, Dental Care and Dental Tourism There is a growing phenomena called "Dental Tourism" in which people travel to a destination that offers less expensive dental care. The decision to visit another country for dental care should go beyond simply comparing prices or even evaluating the dentists' expertise. Countries differ in their standards for infection control and safety. The use of fresh gloves, sterile instruments and safe water are not standard practice in all countries. Without these precautions, patients could be infected with diseases such as hepatitis B. Before considering such trips, it is important to be prepared by using information such as that contained in OSAP's Traveler's Guide. Additional information may be obtained at www.ada.org, www.iamat.org and www.adse.co.uk. Discuss the question "How do you find a good dentist in Monterey Mexico?"
By asking the health ministry
You could try Ensenada, Mazatlan, Acapulco or Salina Cruz.
Yes. It is one of the cities in Mexico with the largest numbers of American and Canadian ex-pats.
I can't recommend a dentist in that area but have been using a dentist in Progreso for a couple of years and am quite happy with the care I have recieved.....and any US dentist is going to kick a fit when you say mexico....the US dentists are losing billions of dollars because of the cheaper prices in Mexico. All of my bad dental experiences have been in the US...not in Mexico. The only thing I will say about using a Mexican Dentist is to get your price agreed upon first
Because these cities have the best tourism infrastructure found in Mexico: good highways, nice hotels, clean beaches and until recently, very good security.
There are many honest dentists. You can find a good dentist by talking with friends and relatives about their experiences.
It depends where you study in mexico. Try Mexico city in one of the good universities.
Los Cabos or Mazatlan would be good choices. It really depends on how much are you willing to pay.
There are several great dentists in Boston. A search engine can be used to find the nearest dentist in your area.
Can't speak for everyone but I found a great dentist Dr. Irma Gavaldon, she is and an american licensed dentist down is Cancun. Couldn't be happier for anyone going down there for work I would find her and go with her only( unless you know another good dentist) her website is dentalworkmexico.com
The best way to find a dentist is to ask people who are patients of that dentist. Ask all your friends, co-workers, neighbors if they have a dentist that they highly recommend.
