Mexicana Dentists Are Dancing in the Streets Over Obama Care

Mexican and Manila Dentists Dancing In The Streets Over Obama's 'No' Dental Health Care Plan
The Obama Health Care Plan doesn't make dental care more affordable for Americans. A dental crown is still going to cost as much as a first-class plane ticket to London. It's business as usual for American dentists.
Here's what the Dental Health section of The Obama dental health plan calls for: Millions of dollars in fluoridation, oral hygiene education and federal subsidies for dental ed.
Millions of uninsured AND insured Americans will continue to be unable to afford costly dental treatments such as root canals, crowns, veneers, implants, cosmetic dental makeovers etc.
Insurance plans generally pay for one crown or root canal annually. What do you do if you are 55 years old and need 10 or 20 crowns? Crowns and root canals run $400-500usd in Mexico versus $800-3,000 (at pricey clinics) in the US.
In Canada and the US, patients needing a new set of crowns including some root canals, and an implant or two, can spend upwards of $50-$75,000. If they have the money. And most don't, not in these economic times.
In Mexico the cost is around $15-20,000 for a cosmetic dental makeover with the dentist ordering the same materials from the same catalogues American dentists order from.
Many dental tourism patients visit Cabo or Puerto Vallarta dentists to save on crowns by having a dental vacation at the same time.
Mexican dental tourism clinics have seen a surge in big treatment patients since the economic crisis began as prices for dental care in Mexico are substantially less than in the USA.
"We are seeing patients who just have their implant bases put in and cannot afford the crowns to complete their treatments by their American dentist back home," says Puerto Vallarta certified dentist Dr Terre Valle "Now, they come to us to complete the work and have a vacation at the same time."
American dentists are closing clinics for lack of patients as Americans cut back on expenses while Mexican dentists and tourism industry executives are seeing dental tourism as a growing facet of Mexico's tourism industry.
Antonio Duran, marketing manager for the Wyndham Tesoro Resort in Cabo says they are trying to find more niche markets like the healthcare tourists. "We especially appreciate medical and dental tourists as they stay in our hotel 1 to 2 weeks versus only 3.5 days for the average tourist."
Visit a board certified dentist in Mexico for safe, expert dentistry at the same cost of a less-trained general dentist. And don't forget your passport, swimsuit and sun bloc.
