A SPANIARD who lives in the US flew from his home to Barcelona in order to receive emergency dental treatments. He has saved thousands in the process.
David (@playdabeat), who is an architect in New York and lives in Barcelona, decided that Barcelona was the best option for his budget after weighing Colombia and Mexico.
Five hours before his flight to the Catalan Capital was scheduled to depart, he bought tickets.
Although it ‘wasn’t cheap’ he says that at €428 return, the cost of the flight was much less than paying for treatment in the USA.
Once in Barcelona, he had three back to back appointments with an operation, costing a total of €333.
A virus infection caused him to be diagnosed with nerve-cell necrosis.
Then, David underwent four tooth reconstructions, totalling €361 at what appears to be a Vitaldent clinic.
He says that he still has some tweaks to do, but he is going to Puerto Rico the next time.
Overall, the journey and treatment cost him €1123 compared to the €4200 he would have paid in New York. By flying to Spain, he saved at least €3065.
