All things being dental...




You know what`s weird? I`ve noticed that Hungarians really have a thing for teeth. Believe it or not, I have passed through villages in the middle of nowhere - we`re talking boxed in by corn and wheat fields as far as the eye can see - where there is neither a post office nor a grocery store BUT the corner place is open 6 days a week to get your smile all fixed up shiny and new. You won`t catch Borat spoofing Hungarians` bad teeth a la Austin Powers!

A shout out to Gary for setting me straight on Hungary's affinity for dental hygiene. Some countries are known globally as good spots for cheap organ transplants. Hungary has earned a reputation as a cheap destination for good dentistry. Huh, go figure...dental tourism. Had I clued in earlier, I might've gotten my pearly whites gold capped!
