Dental regulation is likely to vary according to country, so it’s a good idea to do some initial research on the country offering the treatment.
For example you should find out whether that country has a professional regulatory body for dental practice. If so, is it compulsory for dental professionals to be registered with them?
It is worth knowing that any patient who receives illegal dental treatment is placing themselves at risk as they will not be protected by the rigorous regulatory system that we have in place in the UK. Furthermore, NHS Scotland is under no obligation to provide pre and post-operative care other than emergency care.
