Has anyone ever traveled to Cuba or Canada to get free dental care???
I was thinking of going to Cuba & getting my teeth done like Michael Moore in Sicko
took the Americans over there & did is it possible to do I am a citizen?
A Cuban person told me I could I just heve to get my own Novaciane they don’t have alot down there
Serious answers please
I would never get dental work done in another country again. If something goes wrong then you have to either travel back there again to have the dentist fix it ( there goes the $$ you thought you could save) or you have to pay a dentist here to fix it. If you pay to have it done here in the first place, then the dentist should stand by his/her work. Not every country have the same sanitation standards/ infection control etc.

I know you can book dental "vacations" in Mexico. You’d have to Google it and look around, because I’ve never done anything like it. People seem to be happy with the deal they receive.
Canada might not be the best option - I can’t imagine they’re that much cheaper than here. I wouldn’t go to Cuba - I doubt they have very sophisticated equipment.
EDIT: I didn’t catch the "free" part of your question. You’re still going to have to pay. I’ve ready that you can get very deep discounts in Mexico. Please realize that Michael Moore was a publicity stunt. You don’t want the kind of free dental care that is offered in developing nations.

No free dental care in Canada as long as you are a landed immigrant( who posseses an Interim Federal Health document) or a Canadian Citizen ( who is a minor).
