Cheap is not always best in life and this is especially true for many Australians who have headed overseas in search of lower priced dental care.
While the actual cost of their dental treatments were initially lower than the equivalent at home, many have ended up paying more than what it would have cost them to get it done locally in the first place because of essential repair work.
Overseas dental holidays have lured over 10,000 Australians every year in search of cut priced treatment for their teeth. However, dentists back home in Australia are having to repair the shoddy work many overseas dentists have done, often costing the patient thousands of dollars.
With less than one third of overseas dentists having the skills, knowledge and experience to pass the examinations required to practice as a dentist in Australia, many people are prioritising their wallet at the expense of their long term dental health by exposing themselves to untrained staff.
