Experience Dental Tourism under an ADA Accredited Dentist

Ensure the quality of your dental tourism experience in Mexico by booking your
appointment with a dentist accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA). The ADA is the
largest dental association in the United States with over 157,000 members. However, it does not
mean that all of the its members reside in the USA. Quite a number work across the border in
Tijuana, Mexico.

Highly Skilled and Accredited Dentists

The organization exerts an incessant effort to advance the dental profession amongst its
members. It is an organization which advocates patient centered and science based service which
conform to world class standards in medical ethics. This effort is best embodied in the services
provided by ADA accredited dentists as well as products unto which it has conferred its seal of
quality.

Much of the qualms of Americans considering the possibility of becoming dental tourists
rest on doubts as to the skill of dentists working in Mexico. These doubts lie in the possibility that
dentists an Mexico are not up to speed with the latest in dental technology and modern practices in
maintaining oral health. The organization addresses these doubts by offering an international
accreditation program for dentists who practice their profession in a country other than the United
States and those who do not have an active American dental license. Upon demonstrating their
competence to the ADA, dentists in Mexico gain access to a broad range of membership benefits
in order to better practice their profession.

If you schedule your appointment with an ADA accredited dentist, you can rest assured that
he is well read with regard to the latest in dental science. All accredited dentists have access to the
prestigious Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). For more accurate diagnoses, the
accredited dentists can course your symptoms to the organization's evidence based dentistry
website. Products for patients are also made available through the organization's accredited
dentists. They play an integral role in the advancement and promotion of modern dental
technologies. With a dentist who has due accreditation, you can be assured that you have a
partner who is always part of a process of continuing education. Dental services will always be first
rate.

Tested and Licensed Dental Products

Some dental tourists consider going to Mexico not only for services but for dental products
as well. In Mexico, dentures, tooth caps and other dental products come at a fraction of the cost
charged in the United States. To ensure that the product you purchase is of superior quality, you
might want to consider purchasing products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. The process of
acquiring the seal for a product ensures that it has gone through the most stringent of quality
control standards. All products bearing the seal have to undergo examination and licensure
procedures by the Council of Scientific Affairs.

Not all products who apply for acceptance are granted the seal. To qualify, the product
must have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for direct marketing to
customers by the members of the organization. Therapeutic medicine, anesthetics as well as
materials and instruments for use in dental clinics all undergo careful scrutiny before licensure is
granted and the seal is conferred. The FDA's evaluation is based on published technical standards
in conjunction with organizational guidelines for safe use in the practice of dentistry. In the event
that products constitute modern innovations in the field, they may only receive the ADA Seal if the
producers can demonstrate substantial proof of their efficacy and safety. Dental tourists can feel at
ease as almost all products in dental clinics in Mexico bear the seal.

The FDA imposes strict submission requirements before granting licensure. Producers
must disclose and prove information about their product which will be relevant to the health and


safety of consumers. Such information includes product composition, generic name and the
producing company's manufacturing standards for the product. Any changes in the above
mentioned information ought to be disclosed to the authorities concerned lest the license be
revoked.

The standards used for approving products are updated as advances are made in the field
of dental science. Henceforth, products which are obsolete or present newfound safety hazards to
patients will have their license revoked and the seal withdrawn.

Similarly, products which are no longer relevant to dental practice or are substantially
inferior to their modern counterparts will not qualify for renewal of their license with the FDA.
Transitively, the seal for such products will be withdrawn as well. Patronize only accepted products
as a dental tourist and you will have an unparalleled experience as a patient at a fraction of the
cost.
