Costa Rica Dental Experiences

The first step in starting to solve a problem is to understand what caused it. I f you are going to read this article, it means that you have noticed one of the symptoms of pyorrhea and you want to know how you can do to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Something interesting that I noticed has been that the average patient when it comes into contact with us, HAS NO IDEA of what caused the loss of his teeth. I imagine that by now you must be asking yourself, "Is it important to know that?" Well it's very simple.  Bleeding gums, tartar on teeth, periodontal pockets, fissured tongue, gums that gradually retract; t hese are just some of the alarm bells that can indicate the development of one of the most devastating diseases of the mouth. If you have ever experienced even one of these symptoms, or if you suspect something, but you are not sure, then read on because I will explain below what are the devastating effects of pyorrhea (also called periodontit...

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...

In a previous article, we saw what can be parameters that you can use to recognize a quality dentist. As I said then, however, these were necessary conditions but not sufficient to determine the high-quality level of a dental practice . How to understand if in addition to a good base there is also a system that generates quality? -- The technical ability of a dentist, which is obviously the most important parameter for a quality study, is perhaps the only parameter that the patient can hardly ever evaluate because it is too technical. Sometimes beautiful facade works hide operational flaws or below the surface. So we try to give a series of additional parameters that are indispensable for me in a modern studio that works with care. This time I have to warn you that I will speak in a subjective way. Many colleagues may not agree with me, maybe just on one or two points, maybe on everyone. I don't want to discredit anyone. In good faith, I want to talk to you about the elemen...

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...
