ALLOW ME TO BE YOUR GUIDE
My name is Rob Nelson and I've discovered something so awesome I
just have to share it with you.
I like to think I'm a pretty mellow guy--as a psychotherapist I have
to be. But one thing that really gets me mad is the insane cost of
dental care here in the US. You see, I've had a lot of trouble with my
teeth and it hurts to think about how much I've spent over the years
getting them worked on.
And the costs just keep going up and up and up. Recently a couple
teeth started hurting. I take pretty good care of my teeth, but I'd
put off seeing a dentist for several years. Imagine my shock when I
was suddenly facing an $8000 estimate. Has this ever happened to you?
When I looked at my options I felt a bit desperate. Sure, I could
put that eight grand on my credit card, or open a line of credit, but
I'd be saddling my family with this awful debt.
I could try to get seen at a dental school, wait around all day for
an appointment and let a bunch of students use me for a guinea pig. No
thanks!
Or I could just have the bad teeth pulled out and go around looking
like an old hillbilly. No way! Not if I could help it.
_THAT'S WHEN I REMEMBERED THAILAND_.
I was lucky enough to visit Thailand four years ago with my wife and
two little girls. I have to admit that I was a very timid traveler!
When we were planning our trip, Thailand seemed _way_ too scary at
first. But we had a free stop over in Bangkok and after some
encouragement from a good friend, we decided to stay for two weeks.
Thailand was lovely. We felt perfectly safe, the food was fantastic,
the people were friendly, everything was so cheap. It was exotic and
beautiful and we wished we could have stayed for a whole month.
It wasn't until we got home that I heard about dental care in
Thailand. I met a woman who had just had major work done and she raved
about it. Then I talked to an old friend who'd been to the same clinic
in Chiang Mai! They seemed to be in on a secret.
Years later, and faced with paying $8000, I began thinking about
Thailand again. At first it seemed crazy--I'd be gone for two weeks!
But secretly I'd been wanting to go back there for years. Could I
justify it?
I began doing the countless hours of research that eventually became
the foundation of my book: _A VACATION TO SMILE ABOUT_. Having my
teeth fixed in Chiang Mai ended up saving me $4400. And that's _AFTER_
paying for my ticket and all travel expenses.
Imagine someone paying you four thousand dollars to have the vacation
of a lifetime.
Before I left on my trip a number of people contacted me who had
read about my plans on my blog. All of them wanted to know how it went
over there--to help them decide whether to try it out for themselves.
One woman called me from New York. She'd been to two different
dentists who'd both given her a $40,000 estimate! Using price lists
from Chiang Mai I figured she would have to pay just under $10,000 for
the same work. That's a savings of Thirty Thousand Dollars!!
Because of all this interest I decided to take a lot of photos and
keep notes on my experiences. I even visited other clinics to check
them out. It soon became clear to me that I had way too much
information for a simple blog post or two. I had a book to write. So
after I got home I dropped everything and spent six weeks obsessively
writing this book.
A VACATION TO SMILE ABOUT really is a treasure trove of information
and a labor of love. I wanted to share my great experience in Thailand
and make it accessible to as many people as possible. It really wasn't
just about saving money. In Chiang Mai I received the best dental care
I've ever experienced and I had an outrageously wonderful time.
_I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THEY HAVE THIS OPTION--YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
DESPERATE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO OPEN A VEIN TO PAY FOR GOOD DENTAL CARE._
And even if you _DON'T_ need a lot of dental work, a trip to
beautiful, exotic Thailand can be easier, cheaper and more fun than
you ever imagined. Just check out what my book has to offer...

1
Get Your Teeth Fixed in Thailand? Are You Crazy?
When I first began exploring the idea of traveling to Thailand to
save money on my dental care, I met a number of folks who thought I
was insane. I know this because they were eager to tell me so.
Obviously (they reasoned), if you go overseas to some third world
country, and especially if it's a lot cheaper than America, the work
is going to be inferior. That's what cheap means, right? Primitive.
Inferior. Unsanitary. Crappy.
I actually had several people ask me "Do they use anesthetics over
there?" I'm not kidding.
Instead of Novocain, I guess they thought I'd be offered some crude
herbal sleeping concoction mixed up in a coconut shell by a witch
doctor. And the dental drill would be a pedal-powered bamboo
contraption, with a rusty nail for the drill bit. With any luck they'd
wipe off the nail between patients--with a dirty old rag.
Hmmmm, "over there" sounds a bit like Gilligan's Island--and why on
earth would you choose that?
_Well, a lot of us are_ going "over there". With health care in the
US so dysfunctional and insurance coverage so sketchy, medical tourism
has become a huge industry. A report cited in Wikipedia estimated that
750,000 Americans went abroad for health care in 2007, and that a
million and a half would seek health care outside the US in 2008.
More than 50 countries have identified medical tourism as a national
industry, but for dental work in particular--for US citizens--the most
popular destinations for dental work seem to be Mexico, Costa Rica,
India and Thailand.
So why do some folks still think it's crazy? Well, we Americans have
been told all our lives that "We're #1" It's a popular chant, isn't
it? Let's face it, we may still be #1 in a lot of things, but not when
it comes to health care. Even though we pay twice as much as any one
else, we're the only industrialized nation without Universal Health
Care. We're currently ranked 45th in infant mortality--right behind
Cuba and Guam!
I'm not trying to bash America--just the assumption that American
dentists are the best in the world, or that any dentist in Mexico,
Costa Rica, India or Thailand must be inferior. I don't know about
you, but I've had some really crappy _American_ dentists work on my
teeth--that's one big reason I needed so much work today.
I decided to find out for myself whether or not it's crazy to
travel abroad for dental care. I took the risk, and I took a lot of
notes. Here is my story.
_THIS BOOK MIGHT BE THE BEST INVESTMENT YOU EVER MAKE--NOT ONLY
SAVING YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, BUT ADDING TO THE RICHNESS AND
