About this site

What this site is

This site is a short set of guides, written in plain English.

• It covers three questions visitors ask most: how to choose a dentist, how to check a licence, and what happens at the first appointment.
• Each section that states a fact ends with a short note naming its source, so you can read the original yourself.
• The site is not a clinic and does not treat anyone.
• It does not list, rank or name any clinic.
• It does not sell flights, rooms or visas.

How it is paid for

We make money from a partner named on these pages, Dental Link, which helps visitors find a dentist in Vietnam.

• When you reach Dental Link through one of our links, we may be paid. Your bill stays the same.
• Dental Link does not treat teeth itself.
• By its own account, patients pay it nothing, every clinic it works with clears 18 published checks, and each patient gets a pair of written quotes to compare.
• You settle the bill with the clinic.

What this site will not do

Some lines this guide does not cross.

• It will not pick a treatment for you. That choice belongs to you and a dentist who has looked in your mouth.
• It will not promise a result from any treatment.
• Flying times after a procedure are not covered here. Your treating dentist sets those.
• It will not print a price it cannot point to a source for.
• It will not publish made up stories, reviews or ratings.

Where the facts come from

Every fact traces to a named source.

• Licence facts come from an English translation of Law No. 15/2023/QH15, Vietnam's 2023 medical treatment law, and from the Ministry of Health.
• Prices come from Dental Link's published starting prices, read on the date shown.
• Australian facts come from the Australian Dental Association, the Dental Board of Australia, Smartraveller, healthdirect, Finder and Vietnam Airlines.
• Where we could not find a source for a figure, we left it out. Price notes show the date each figure was read.

How pages are kept up to date

Laws, prices and clinic rules change.

• When a source changes, the page that uses it is updated and its date changes too.
• If something looks out of date, check the source named at the end of that section. That source is the one to trust.

Who this site is for

The checks on this site work whether you are planning a trip or are already in Vietnam. If you are in pain or have swelling, see a dentist near you that day and do the paperwork after.

Your own dentist comes first

Please talk to your own dentist before and after any work overseas.

• Bring them your plan, scans and receipts.
• They know your mouth and your history, and they are the right person for clinical questions.
• This guide only helps you ask better questions and check the basics.
