Dental tourism today faces new challenges according to Ms. Carla Helena Sanchez the new Director of Certified Dentists Internationale.
“The rapidly growing dental tourism industry is in danger of getting a black eye with many dental tourism websites and dental travel brokers promoting any dentist who is willing to pay their annual membership fees regardless of their qualifications."
Many general dentists are guilty for gaming the system by misrepresenting themselves on large dental brokerage website as being "specialists" when in fact they are not certified in any specialty field.
