For any dental tourist, seeking dental treatment away from home can be a challenging and tricky affair. Some points of help include:

Try to get information on available dentists before you arrive. Get an idea on the qualifications, continuing education updates and registration status.

Keep your first visit as an informal discussion. Observe the clinic and the dentist to confirm if they live up to your treatment expectations.

Check the hygiene levels and confirm if autoclave based sterilization is used as per international standards.

Observe the professional conduct of the staff. Check if treatment needs are discussed and treatment plan explained to your satisfaction.

Cost of treatment is not the best judge of quality of dentistry. Confirm payment policies of the clinic. Check if mode of payments (cash or card) are acceptable.

 If in doubt, do not hesitate to seek a second opinion. If your dentist’s treatment plan is sound, it should hold up to scrutiny by others in the profession.

Word of mouth referrals are important guides.

Get an idea on local weather conditions and any festivities.
