Brits have been warned of the true cost of heading abroad for treatments.

Britons have started taking holidays abroad to have emergency dentistry treatments carried out at knock-down prices. However, many fail to factor in the true cost of these procedures, it has been claimed.

Many people fail to recognise the initial outlay for the treatment itself is not the only cost when heading abroad for treatment, meaning that in many cases it can be cheaper to stay in the UK, according to research carried out by dental implant clinic Dentale.

Dentale’s Jason Buglass warned: “In the case of dental implants, you need to make a number of follow-up visits and if your dentist is in another country, this can not only be very time consuming but also costly.”

Elsewhere, Brits looking to get a whiter smile fast have been advised to sample a new product from Pearl Drops.

The Pearl Drops Instant White Ultra treatment is a gel which creates temporary dental veneers to make a person’s smile appear brighter for a short time.
