Check carefully about the dentist and dental work your loved one gets overseas. My wife is Russian and had some poor work done before I met her. Fortunately I am a dentist so I was busy after she arrived fixing the problems that could be fixed. I have seen too many people from the former Soviet Union with very poorly done root canals. Because of the material used, some of them cannot be fixed. I have also seen people go to Central America to have implants done cheaply. In some cases things did not go well and required several return visits to try and correct the original problems.

Lol... I find this topic kind of "funny"....

I came from New York on August 2010 and I started using braces inmediately ... Who doesn´t want a "perfect" smile? , plus here in Colombia we have very good dentist with very affordable costs.

I expect not to have braces by the time I come back to the states. Also, dental hygine is VERY important, so I would highly recommend everybody to have their dental work done before going to the states.

WOW! Folks sure are sensitive here about TEETH! (get the pun?? )

It is just a reality that many countries and cultures care LESS and do NOT have preventative attitudes about Oral Teeth Care like we have in the USA!

Certain countries just CARE LESS ABOUT TEETH AND THAT IS THAT.

So what is all the fuss about, it's the truth!

It is nice to see the endless attorney and visa ads at the top of the page replaced with teeth whitening ads for at least one thread

I agree the first dentist my husband went to didn't even take x-rays she just determined what she had to do by looking at them. The first tooth she pulled out she took about 3 hours (because he should of went to a dental surgeon instead). The second one she couldn't do so she sent him to her co-worker who did it but ended up damaging some kind of sinus or something basically he had to go to a specialist right after and had 11 stitches put in his mouth. Now he chose to continue going to that specialist and drive about an hour and a half to a different city each time than go through the ####### he went through.

Oh and dentists in America can be bad to. When i first came here I had to get 4 root canals. Each one the dentist did ended up going bad in less than 2 years and I had to have 3 of them removed while the 4th one was repaired and intact thanks to a cover over it. I recommend a cover for everyone that has a root canal done.

I will be leaving for the US next week and am currently having an artificial crown being put to my 2nd molar (for free though because my aunt's a dentist lol). Yes, it is important to work on dental problems now before going to the US because the procedures there are more expensive.

It is a fact that the water in the US is fluoridated that's why people there have nicer teeth but at the end of the day it all depends on how we take care of our own teeth and genetic reasons that count.

So are you blasting the owner of this website that you enjoy using? Just say it plainly, then.

This is the lamest post I've ever read here, seriously. How teeth look like are first of all genetic, stupidity on the other hand, isn't.
