Moving to a brand new city is exciting! Take it from me, a first-hand expat ? But it comes with it’s own handful of risks as well of course. Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere unfortunately – so you’ve got to be at least partially prepared.
We all know how fast a slight toothache can become a searing pain that leaves us unable to eat or talk. It sucks. If you’re an expat like me, you probably have some sort of coverage through your workplace. Coverage that provides clean, fast, easy dental checkups. Unfortunately however, not much more. :/
Through your traditional, large-scale insurance coverage centers, be prepared to pay tens of thousands of forints for any procedure that is more than a basic cleaning. And your treatment will basically be business-as-usual.
So that’s why I’m encouraging you to be prepared: while your basic insurance plan is more than enough for your six-month dental cleanings, you may want more when it comes to a complicated or lengthy dental procedure.
What do I mean by more? Finding quality care that meets your standards as an expat can be tricky.
First and foremost, you’ll want a first-hand recommendation. Then, you’ll want to make sure that all dental care can be provided and communicated in English. The dental clinic itself must be clean, modern and assuring. You’ll want to be sure you’re working with dental professionals and dentists who are dedicated to their craft, established in the field, and will prioritize your comfort every step of the way.
