For over two decades, Thailand has been one of the world’s first choices when it comes to dental treatments. Yet, the country has been overlooking its neighboring rival. As it appears, Vietnam has set sight to earn the title by taking its medical tourism industry to the next level.

Countries like Australia, the US, New Zealand are always countries with ridiculously high dental costs for patients of all ages. Since dental implants, crowns and bridges, cosmetic dentistry procedures demand high costs and require long waiting time, people from these countries prefer to travel to other countries to get affordable dental care. It helps them to have a wider range of affordable restorative treatments and an amazing vacation out of it while actually save a fortune.

Cost-efficiency of dental care in Vietnam

Dental tourism patients who travel to Vietnam can often save up to 70% of their treatment. This is, in large part, due to the advantages of low average living costs, salary for medical employees, education fees, medical materials and facility costs. Average dental costs in Vietnam are about 70 percent lower than those in Australia and 30 percent lower than its neighbor Thailand, which makes up its competitive advantage in the field.

A paradise for travel lovers

Vietnam is hands-down one of the top travel destinations in Asia, attracting travelers to its lush mountains, ancient towns, and gorgeous golden sand beaches. According to data of Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, there are approximately 18 million inbound tourists arrived in Vietnam in 2019, with a double-digit compound annual growth rate.

Travelers from Australia, US, Russia arrive in Vietnam to enjoy their vacations in Da Nang beaches, Gorgeous Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter while having dentistry packages without concerning a thing on their trip. From the tropical coral reefs of Nha Trang to the northern mountains of Sa Pa, travel to Vietnam is one of the most adventurous yet culturally empowering experiences you can have in the world.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
