Dental tourism is really taking off in the U.S. and Canada, and for good reason: Most procedures cost half of what American and Canadian dentists charge, and some cosmetic procedures are as much as 80% cheaper in Mexico. Even so, the prospect of traveling to a foreign country is frightening for many people. Going to a local dentist is scary enough, but a Mexican dentist?

Here are some of the most common questions potential dental tourists have about getting the work done in Mexico, along with the answers to those questions:

• Is it safe to get dental care in Mexico? Mexican dentists go through four to five years of specialized training in dentistry and one year as an intern before they are allowed to practice. Their credentials very similar to those of dentists in the U.S. and Canada, and in fact they study many of the same textbooks.
• How do I find a good dentist in Mexico? You can’t go wrong with www.mexicandentalvacation.com. They can set up an appointment at a modern facility in a matter of minutes.
• Why are dental services in Mexico so much cheaper? The overall cost of living in Mexico is less than half of what it is in the U.S. or Canada. The price of dental care is reflected in this. Education is also much less expensive in Mexico than in it is in the U.S., so dentists do not have to charge as much in order to pay off their dental training.
• Aren’t Americans taking advantage of Mexicans by using their dentists? Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Mexican people depend on tourist dollars to keep their economy vibrant. The money you spend in Mexico circulates through the economy, and benefits so many people, from the middle class to the very poor.

On the last day, the dental clinic will do a follow-up visit just make sure everything looks good before sending you home with a bright new smile.
