Dental tourism booming in Europe. Hungary, Poland and Ukraine

Dental tourism in the UK.

The UK economy is facing its worst crisis for 60 years, according to Chancellor Alistair Darling. But what impact will the credit crunch have on dental care?

Many people are feeling the financial strain at the moment and are having to cut back on luxuries and be more careful with their budgeting, so they are increasingly looking for ways to help them cope with the pressure of paying for dental care.
In the times of the credit crunch dental tourism gives people access to high quality dental treatment.

Top class dentistry in Ukraine

Ukraine offers modern dental care from dentists who have undergone 6 years of rigorous, comprehensive training to receive their basic degree. More advanced training is required for specialization. Ukraine also requires dentists to take continuing education classes each year and to belong to at least one international dental organization. Dental fees in Ukraine are about 40% cheaper than in Hungary or Poland and 75% than in the UK.

There's a reason why Dental Tourism Is all the rage

The American Dental Assn. does not take an official position on dental tourism, says its consumer adviser, Dr. Edmond Hewlett, an associate professor at University of California at Los Angeles School of Dentistry. "We tell people it is possible to get high-quality dental care in places other than the U.S. or UK, but they should be aware there are no international standards." He also notes that there may be few legal protections if things go wrong. Nevertheless, Hewlett says, even he has offered advice to people seeking to go overseas for dental care.
