Dental vacations are becoming more popular following medical tourism; although I am uncertain why anyone would refer to these as “vacations” because treatments can be extensive leaving patients unable to enjoy the time away. Price seems to be the reason most people decide to do this which is understandable. I hope people looking into this option take the time to calculate travel costs and time, and for those concerned about the environment the carbon footprint of the travel.

Interesting that the trend in food production and consumption is local (farm to table) as compared to dental tourism. I hope that people who are getting extensive work done elsewhere will return to their local dentist.

Local or abroad care, people should research the provider and care, know the quality before deciding.
