Add your flight and hotel
Add a return flight and 6 nights to see whether the trip still costs less than paying in the UK.
When not to travel
- Gum disease or tooth decay that has not been treated yet.
- Heavy teeth grinding, until a dentist has assessed your bite.
- Healthy teeth you would only like whiter: ask a dentist about whitening first, because filing teeth down is permanent.
