For Good Dental Care Do Not Go Abroad Recommends An Oxford Dentist
Patients that opt to travel and have their cosmetic dentistry treatment abroad put themselves at the risk of losing their teeth permanently. There have been thousands of reports where patients have returned to the UK with badly fitted crowns and other dental errors that cost the patient thousands of pounds to fix.
Back in 2006 the situation became so bad that the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry issued a public warning in the hope it would prevent Britons from travelling abroad. James Goonik a member of the academy board said “We are seeing a surge in cases of dangerously botched treatments among patients coming back to Britain; foreign dental work is cheaper and quicker than in Britain, so it is very tempting. But no one who knew the real risks would choose to take them.’
In Britain it is estimated that over 2 million people are unable to find an NHS dentist, this can be due to a lack of NHS dentists in their area of their NHS dentists being full. Due to prices for Cosmetic Dentistry being higher in the UK, people are choosing to go abroad. Choosing to go abroad can lead to the cost of treatment end up costing the patient a lot more.
There have been cases where people unable to afford private cosmetic dentistry have travelled to countries such as Bulgaria for cheap treatment. The treatment that they received abroad was nowhere near up to UK standards. David Sutton a accountant in Oxford travelled to Bulgaria for treatment in March 2009 and had dentures fitted to replace his uneven teeth. After David returned to the UK he noticed that his mouth was constantly in pain for several weeks so decided to go and see his Oxford Dentist.
The Oxford Dentistry surgeon was shocked at what they found. The dental surgeon in Bulgaria had removed nerves from 6 of David’s teeth and they were in an awful state. The cost of David to repair his nerves and to ensure the dentures would last was 10,000. Unfortunately there are thousands of more cases like David’s.
