    Oh lord.... Is this actually a serious question? Sorry I'm just not sure if you're joking or not?

    First of all what exactly do you mean by "get teeth done"?!!
    Why oh why would you go to some dodgy dentist abroad..... I actually cringe when I hear people discuss this because when I think of the pain of an average typical toothache it just astonishes me that someone would trust the care of their teeth to some dodgy dentist in a foreign country! I'm not trying to be rude or anything I just think I'd rather go abroad with a broken leg to be dealt with than my teeth!!!

    Firstly OP, go to a general dentist and get them to check your teeth and give you their insight.

    At that point you are better armed with what you may need to get done and can seek out the appropriate help whether abroad or not

    Patients are often sceptical of local advice and want 2nd and third opinions on the treatment plan proposed to them....
    I find it odd that someone would fly abroad and effectively commit to large scale treatment there and then without a bit of thought.
    You may say that no one forced you to have the proposed treatment but the reality is that once abroad, sitting in the clinic and after being told that your flights and hotel is covered if you have treatment there and then..... most do it.... most regret it.... You have no time to weigh up all the options and come to a sensible decision IMO....

    I don't think the pros and cons of dental tourism need another outing on the forum. Suffice to say I wound not recommend it to my family or friends. As helimachopter says OP, find out what your treatment need is first. Tourism clinics have big windows to see those that just "want their teeth fixed" coming.
