It is a great attempt on dental industry right!
If there is some offers on using Bitcoin then it could be more interesting for the patience whoever reaching there clinic or hospital.
Along with Bitcoin day me accept some altcoins also to make the payment on their visit. Then is it legal to accept all the payments in Bitcoins in their country?

I agree with @BitHodler, and it is much more reliable to use clinics from your own country because people can do better research on the clinic and doctors. Abroad has many barriers and one may think that everything will be cheap, but if something goes wrong it will be much more expensive. I can agree if the person tells me that they have no medical conditions in their country and on the recommendation of their country's doctors that person will need to travel abroad to be able to continue their treatment.
Not only on hassle thing but also into the expense would be needed.For example on my case if tending to go on other countries just for dental treatment,with plane ticket alone I would spend big which would equivalent on 1 year of working so it isn't really that ideal for you to go with that option.You wont really have any choice but to stick as close as possible since you know your capacity when it comes to financial.For lots of money then they can do all they want which always the advantage.

I agree with you, more or less, but I'd say it depends on what procedure you're getting done. I'd have no problem whatsoever getting a cleaning or a tooth pulled in Budapest as long as I didn't get bad vibes from the dentist's office (or the dentist). But I'd much rather get a major procedure done in my home country, in my home state, by a dentist with a good reputation that I can actually research easily.However, this thread is about bitcoin, no? I think it's very cool that some medical professionals are starting to accept bitcoin as payment. Dental insurance is often very limited, so a lot of patients have to pay for things out of pocket and it makes sense that places like this would try to offer as many payment options as possible.
What I'd like to see are veterinarians taking bitcoin (or any other crypto, maybe dogecoin heh heh). Vets are expensive and are pretty much cash-only. I don't think I've ever read of any of them who accept bitcoin or anything else.

Romania and Hungary are popular countries for medical tourism, dentists are reputed and many Europeans go there.
From what I know and have heard around me, people seem to choose Turkey for dental or medical treatments. It's interesting to see that countries such as Romania and Hungary also do well in that field according to you.I am however too paranoid myself to visit a different country for dental or medical treatments. I want everything to be as close as possible in case something goes wrong and I have to go back.
I get it that these countries are much cheaper, but for me personally the peace of mind that a local clinic offers is worth more to me, and they have all the necessary licenses, which in some of the aforementioned countries is questionable.

Romania and Hungary are popular countries for medical tourism, dentists are reputed and many Europeans go there. Some dentists have tourists only lol. I know this clinic since I'm supposed to visit it in November. I know some people will laugh at me or think I'm cheap but bro, it costs too much
You choose:
- You do the treatment in your country and it takes you 2 years and +$6000 for something not big (I'm serious)
- You take the airplane for $150 3-4 times and do it for $2500 and they take care of everything (someone to translate, booking hotel, plane, etc is included)
You decide, I have chosen. What's going to happen to me? Dying from a plane crash, infection or something else?. That's good and I will be very very very happy because I will see my father again, so a shortcut is welcome

Is dental services so cheap in Budapest? Didn't know, btw there are really some countries where people go for that and also for hair transplant because these both service costs a lot in major countries. It's nice they accepted bitcoin, maybe a better payment way for international customers but still it will be interesting to see how much demand will be on that. You know we are happy because of bitcoin integration but sometimes it happens that this integration doesn't come with great results.
"Nowadays, more than 100.000 people travel to Hungary for dental care every year. There are a few reasons why dental tourism became so popular in Hungary over the years:
Lower prices of dental procedures made Hungary the number one choice for dental patients, which made Hungarian dental tourism a highly advanced field of medicine
Despite the lower prices, the quality of dental treatments is extremely high
The privatization of dental care in the 1990ies provided increased funding for clinics, raising them to the international standards of dentistry
Since Hungary became a member of the European Union, travelling to Hungary for European citizens is incredibly easy and cheap
Patients from EU member states can require tax refunds in their home country, further reducing the cost of the treatment
Given that Hungary is a very attractive travel destination, a lot of tourists combine their holiday with a cheap dental treatment."
