Tourism has evolved to take many forms in
the past several decades. From sightseeing to health, tourism attracts people
from all around the world for multiple reasons. With India’s culture and
heritage, it has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the
world. Now, with the advancement in technology and science, India is one of the
preferred destinations for medical tourism, particularly dental tourism.
People travel around the world looking for
affordable dental treatment. The high cost of Dental Procedures and treatment
in the western countries, especially the US, UK , Australia and New Zealand is
the primary reason why they look to travel to other countries. They spend an
outstanding $300 million every year for medical expenses. Medical tourism has
become the most affordable option to the people from the West.
In this scenario, India has been in
demand for dental tourism. It attracts
foreign nationals because of the quality treatment provided by world-class
doctors at affordable prices. For example, a simple root canal costs up to 700
to 1,500 USD in the US while it costs
only about 200 to 500 USD in India. Moreover, the doctors are the best of the
best, India is known for hospitality, treatment is affordable and, better yet,
they get to experience the roots of India while getting their teeth in the best
shape. Reasons to choose India for dental tourism are many.
