No one likes to hear the word ‘Cancer’, but unfortunately, thousands of people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every month. Liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer are among the most common. Cancer prevention information is making some headway with encouraging cancer awareness, but too often the  diagnosis comes too late. That’s why annual checkups are so important. When caught early enough, treatments for cancer can help individuals beat the disease and offer hope for a future. One of the most common forms of cancer treatment used today is chemotherapy.

 

Chemotherapy, or Chemo for short, is a procedure that is commonly used to treat cancer in a patient. It can be performed before or after a surgery, and is designed to remove cancerous cells or tumors. The procedure can also be performed on an individual who is undergoing radiation therapy. Some doctors  use chemotherapy alone, depending on the severity of the cancer.

 

Unfortunately, chemotherapy drugs are horrendously expensive in the U.S. and may cost upward of $5,000 a month! And just as unfortunately, many individuals diagnosed with cancer must make a choice of either obtaining the expensive treatment and losing their financial security or choosing not to treat. No one should have to make that choice.

 

Thankfully, there are facilities outside the U.S. where Americans can receive superlative cancer treatment at a fraction of the cost of domestic care. Places like the Bangkok Hospital Medical Center in Thailand, or the EmCell Clinic in Kiev, Ukraine are just a couple of the multiple medical tourism destinations found abroad that offer cutting-edge technologies and procedures for the treatment of many different types of cancer.

Got bad teeth? Missing that old smile? Children, teenagers, and adults may benefit from a wide variety of cosmetic dental procedures. Procedures and treatments from braces to extending crowns and dental implants benefit those who have suffered tooth injury or loss due to genetics, disease processes or poor oral hygiene. 

 

Cosmetic dentistry is a field that includes, but is not limited to such services such as:

 

·        Repairing rough spots or chips

·        Filling cavities

·        Filling gaps between teeth

·        Bleaching teeth for a whiter, brighter smile

·        Covering and protecting broken teeth with porcelain crowns

·        Improving dental health and function through bonding, bridges, and dental implants

 

Cosmetic dentistry can be expensive, depending on the procedure. In the United States for example, implants may cost $1,200-$2,000 apiece. Bonding may cost $300-$600 a tooth, and crowns may cost anywhere from $800-$1,000.

 

Dental professionals and clinics in South America, Hungary, and Asia offer the same services for quite a bit less. For example, dental implants in India range from $750 to $1,200 and porcelain or metal crowns or bridges cost only $125 to $300 each. Travelers to Argentina can save up to 70% on dental procedures, and in Europe, travelers to Croatia will pay roughly $1,000 for dental implants and $430 for bleaching or teeth whitening procedures.

 

Dental tourism abroad can save money and offer premium services and care. Dental facilities such as PV Smile in Peurto Vallarta, Mexico as well as Dental Cosmetics in Costa Rica offer medical tourists the best in health care combined with state of the art and high tech care for all your cosmetic dental needs. Get that smile back where it belongs, without putting yourself in debt.
