Costa Rica Dental Experiences

Have you ever thought about choosing a dentist abroad to treat your teeth? Dental tourism, as we have often written in the blog, is a phenomenon that has taken hold for several years now. More and more people are willing to and one of the countries, most chosen by North Americans and Canadians, it's Costa Rica.  It is the desire of many patients, but a fatal mistake is to jump on the first foreign dentist who is online and blindly relies on his care. It is the first step to take: find dentists that operate according to the American Dental Association (ADA) regulations on hygiene, safety, and reliability of tools and materials used.  And Patients must be more cautious now during these times of Pandemia!! In times of crisis like these last nasty pandemic, patients are looking for quality dental services at lower prices than in their own country . In addition, there is the advantage of a holiday abroad, and in this, they see greater benefits: they combine dental c...

If you have this in your mind, you are probably looking for implantology and intend to find a good quote for 4-6 implants.  In this article, you will discover all the information you need to understand the costs of implantology and to choose the best proposal. The connection between price and type of installation Dental Implant sets can be compared to common screws; if we decided to buy some in a hardware store, probably at our request of the type: "I would like 6 screws", the shopkeeper would reply: "We have so many, what length, step, thickness, and quality do you need?" This problem is much more complex when it comes to titanium dental implants. In fact, each patient has different bone anatomy that requires the use of different types of implants. Some types are produced exclusively by certain companies and it is common that there are significant price fluctuations between different plants and manufacturing companies. This could be enough to understand t...

I wrote dozens of articles about the dental experience and I realized now that I forgot the first reason people go to the dentist! --- TOOTHACHE! So let's try to explain what can happen to you in your mouth if it goes wrong!  I think that's why you're documenting yourself on the web and reading this article. Basically, the types of toothache for which you go to the dentist in an emergency are 5: Pain from caries near a live nerve Pain from an abscess or acute apical periodontitis Gum pain The pains from cracks in the teeth Muscle pains Ok, two are not Toothache, but I have to write TOOTHACHE often, otherwise you will not find this article when you look on Google for Toothache and so I went ahead because I wrote toothache 4 times in 3 lines. Before talking about toothache (and we are 5 times in 4 lines), however, let's debunk a myth. CAVITIES DON'T HURT ... unless they are very large or that they create a hole in which food can enter, ...

There is something that always surprises the dentists when a patient visits their clinic for the first time. Medical history is compiled before you sit down at the dental chair and the doctor see you for the first time, which is the way to indicate a series of questions about the patient's state of health. One of the questions we ask concerns the reason for the visit, which is often "control and cleaning". As soon as doctors introduced themself and read the medical history, the first thing they say to the patient is: - "Ok, you wrote that you came for a check and a hygiene session. So you have no particular suspicions or pains? Does everything look okay? " And often the answer is: - "Yes, it was a while since I went to the dentist ... I wanted to do some cleaning" Then the doctors ask: - "And in the past have you have had big problems or do you have one of those mouths that just needed little care?" And often as an answer we ge...

It is useless to explain to you why and how. Trust me. Nothing is heard at all and in cases where there is also so much time to put an implant with all the trappings do not reach ten minutes in the hands of our Implantologist. And often it does not swell afterward and there is no bruise. Certainly, there is virtually no evil that is not fully controllable with a painkiller. Sometimes you don't even need it. Another cliché is that if there is no bone the implant cannot be put. A dentist friend of mine, Dr. Alejandro, a very good surgeon and professor, is recently promoting an information campaign for his patients in which he says "if you have the face you can do it!" I apologize to Alejandro but I have to steal it from him because it is fantastic! Except for some general health problems, the implants can always be put in place. If there is no bone we reconstruct it. No problem. The third and last commonplace  is that if there is no bone, however, things get to...

The gum tissue is responsible for covering and protecting the roots of the teeth and the underlying jawbone, which holds the teeth in place. When the gums recede, the bone and other tissues that support the teeth are also damaged, which can compromise the external appearance and self-confidence. The dental root becomes sensitive and even eating and drinking can become unpleasant or even painful experiences. The gum recession also exposes the tooth root and compromises the tooth's attachment to the jaw bone. For these reasons, it is important to identify and treat early gum recession. If neglected, it can worsen to the point where the root is no longer protected by the gum and the teeth can swing and fall. Amelogenins in gel: the delicate solution It is scientifically proven that the use of gel Amelogenins may pose a remedy for gum withdrawal. Amelogenins in the gel are used as part of complementary surgery performed by your periodontist dentist to restore your gum line...
