Dental work in Negril, or Sav?

Dana1,

That you for clarifying. Your statement "Although I'm sure this dentist is qualified...I've heard he was trained in the US" did seem to imply that although trained in the US, the sterilization procedures may be different here in Jamaica. I am glad you have pointed out that Jamaican sterilizations procedures are equal to that of North America and other parts of the world. It is wise advice that people should always be wary and check out the sterilization procedures of any facility first, including your own dental office.

And likewise, more expensive is not necessarily better either.

Sterilization procedures may very well be different in Jamaica...I haven't personally been to a dentist in Jamaica. I know here in Canada, office procedures are not taken lightly and licensing and continuing education are regulated closely. I am by no means discrediting dentists in Jamaica or any foreign countries. If I were to have a toothache or need emergency care while in Negril I would not hesitate to use the service however to undertake major dental procedures in a foreign country, I would definitely have second thoughts. Many things can go wrong with dental procedures and if something should fail with the work done abroad, you would incur further expense when returning to your regular dentist at home.
