ABSTRACT
People from many advanced countries, including the United Sates and Europe, see a benefit in traveling to developing third world countries, like India, Thailand, Philippines, South Africa, etc. while combining medical treatments with inexpensive vacation. This trend is now known as medical tourism. Dental tourism, a subset of medical tourism, involves individuals seeking dental care outside their local healthcare systems, coupled with a vacation. India, a country of continental proportions, has become a popular destination for foreign patients in recent times, particularly in dental care. Every year millions of people fly from all over the globe to India to get dental treatment done and have a splendid holiday at the same time. India's accessibility and availability of quality assured and cost effective dental treatment, amalgamated with its myriad hues of culture and heritage, has exponentially fostered the bloom of India in "dental tourism."
