HOW TO FIND THE BEST COSMETIC DENTIST FOR DENTAL TOURISM

Cosmetic Dentistry is not a recognized dental specialty according to the American Dental Association...

Patients cannot find genuine Board Certified cosmetic dentists in the US - but they exist..

By David Mandich

In the US - cosmetic dentistry is not an American Dental Association (ADA) recognized specialty and any dentist can purchase a dental whitening machine, double their prices overnight and legally call themselves a Cosmetic Dentist Specialist. Some join the various associations of cosmetic dentists in the US and hang their membership certificate on their salon wall for added credibility. 

The fact is - anyone can join some of these cosmetic dentist associations so long as they pay the membership fees.  Dental students, dental lab technicians, dental suppliers, general dentists and even the 3 Stooges would be welcome. 

Consumer protection laws in the US have not caught on to the cosmetic dentistry gimmick that many general dentists in the US use to promote themselves with.  How can they be charged with misrepresentation when cosmetic dentistry as a specialist field does not exist in the eyes of the American Dental Association?
