40,000 patients a year go to Hungary

The Sunday Express article “Why Labour is at fault for Dental Farce” by Alison Little, discusses the failure of UK NHS dentistry and reports that 40,000 patients a year are now travelling to Hungary for dental treatment they can’t afford at home. Here is the link to this dental article www.express.co.uk/posts/view/75502/Why-Labour-is-at-fault-for-dental-farce

In the UK it seems that more patients are having extractions rather than more complex procedures such as root canal treatment. Why is this? The new dental contract? The new dental contract means that the UDA (unit of dental activity) banding for an extraction is in the same category as root canal treatment. An extraction might take a dentist a few minutes,  root canal treatment might take a few hours. What incentive is there for a dentist to do complicated work if they get paid the same amount for both? And the Government are surprised?

So why should you go to Hungary for dental treatment? You get treatment according to what you need, not in units of UDA.

    Hi!

    Yes, that’s right! More and more patients are coming to Hungary to have their teeth fixed,
    as it much cheaper and goes much more faster and the very best is, they get a very high level of quality!

    It is worth visiting Hungary even for already 2 root canal treatments. Not to mention that dental treatment prices are generally very low, so once you are there, you can have your fillings and other smaller things done for pennies.

    Are you looking for a professional dentist and a helpfull support in Hungary? When traveling to Hungary for dental care you must make sure that they will provide the high quality care you are paying for. The easiest way to go about booking the perfect dental treatment in Hungary is to use a private consultant, providing low cost high quality dental tourisme service. As your guide I will arrange everything for your dental needs before your trip. There is also the added advantage of making a well-deserved break in Hungary and enjoying the benefits of exploring another culture and active vacation.
    I can help you to find the cheapest flight, the best accomodation and provide you with programmes so that you will have an overall recreation and vacation during your stay in Hungary: Cultural Programs (exhibitions, museums, concerts), sightseeing tours with personal guide, recreation (cosmetics, hairdresser, pedicure, manicure, solarium, sauna), leisure time programmes (e.g. rent a car/bike, carriage-ride, horse riding, angling, tennis, on request).
