A Twist on Dental Tourism

September 4th, 2008 · No Comments

dentistMedical and dental tourism in the US has become popular in recent years. A patient can travel abroad, get a good price on healthcare services, and enjoy a vacation at the same time. While touring the globe for cut-rate surgeries comes with a serious and lengthy list of concerns, people seem to like the idea. In the UK, medical tourism has a little different meaning this week. Hungarian Dental Travel is touring the UK with an “inflatable surgery tent,” offering dentistry at a reduced cost in comparison to traditional dental practices in the area. The dentists are touring rather than the patients. I’m not certain what an “inflatable surgery tent” is, but it sounds…unconventional at best. At present the Hungarian Dental Travel website is being upgraded, so you won’t find much information about the company there. However, with the UK’s oral healthcare crisis – people pulling their own teeth and all – patients are eager to experience what Hungarian Dental Travel provides.
