A Dentist Abroad
Dentists cost up to ten times more privately in the UK then in many other parts of the world. With the difficulty in getting yourself registered with an NHS Dentist now, more and more people are looking privately at home and abroad for alternative options. A friend of mine recently had some work done on his teeth in Budapest privately for a fraction of the cost of treatment in England.
My friend had a fear of flying so he decided to drive to Budapest and make the trip a mini holiday. I went with him mainly because it had been ages since I had been on holiday. The first thing that struck me about Budapest was the number of hybrid cars on the roads. For a supposedly second tier European nation, Hungary seems to be ahead of the curve when it comes to fuel efficiency and environmental protection. Even the dentist my friend went to see owned a Honda which happened to be one of their new hybrid models.
It was the cost and quality of the treatment my friend had that amazed me the most though. Far from some dirty gulag in a dodgy alleyway, the dental surgery we were in was modern, clean and well organised. The work my friend had done (a porcelain crown on his front tooth) was efficient, quick and effective. The dentist told him he would never really have to worry about the tooth again but still gave him a five year guarantee on the work stating that if there were any problems it would be repaired or replaced for free and that the surgery would contribute to the air cost of coming over for the work.
A far cry from the care and quality we get in the UK.
