5 Reasons To Plan Your Dental Vacation in Costa Rica Now!

Neglecting an opportunity to do something we know we need to do is called procrastination.

Procrastination ALWAYS has a price.

With your dental health the cost of procrastination is incrementally expensive. By your procrastination, you continue to work against your dental health and hygiene which effects every part of your life both in your social interactions and in the business world… not to mention your private life.

This relational cost is compounded exponentially by the financial cost that is the inevitable consequence of procrastination.

Actually I think it is fair to say that procrastination in regards to your dental health has built more vacation homes, funded more extravagant vacations, reduced working hours, kept Tiffany’s in the black, made BMW the worlds most profitable car company and caused American Express to create a whole other new class of card (Black) that most of us will never be invited to join.

I must make this disclaimer that dentists cannot make us do what we know is in our best interests. It is not their fault but yours. Taking responsibility for your dental health starts and ends with YOU!

Let us resolve therefore, a few months in advance, to make a decision on our behalf that will enrich our lives in every way and take charge of that part of our health that we ignore at our own peril which has had or will have devastating consequences that will only get more acute.

Get your dental health in order, have a great vacation and save money doing it.

OK! I promised you 5 reasons to plan now:

1. The wonderful thing about Costa Rica is that when it’s winter where you are (making an educated guess), it’s summer here.Living in the Central Valley where San Jose is located, and in particular Escazu where Dr. Mario’s dental office is located, we will officially begin summer in mid December.While the snow plows and shovels will be hard at work in the Hudson Valley, Woodstock, NY, – and I am speaking from personal experience here – gather your favorite summer clothes and start packing. While others are singing about a White Christmas and for some of you already a White Halloween, you will be enjoying the best weather in the world!Here in the Central Valley we wake up to a beautiful sunrise around 6am with a supernaturally beautiful blue sky laced with those white puffy clouds you are always reading about but never see. We live our day out with a constant, gentle moving, spring-like breeze which is a permanent gift from the picture postcard mountains that ring San Jose where the thermometer rarely rises above 83, give or take and it never rains.
2. In Costa Rica it’s all about Pura Vida… the Pure Life. Incorporate the best of Mother Nature with your dental vacation.If you are in the mood to enjoy a beautiful beach, Manuel Antonio is a quick three hour drive on the interstate. Or if you care to see one of the many visually stunning volcanoes, Arenal is a beautiful drive north through what feels like a tour through the absolutely stunning emerald grassy hills of what could be Switzerland where you’ll be occasionally interrupted by quaint small towns.If you prefer there are any number of national parks within a short driving distance to go zip-lining through the rain forest, horseback riding along trails in the where you are occasionally challenged by screaming monkeys or disturb the sleep of a sloth. Or take a boat trip around the picture postcard pretty Lake Arenal that spreads itself around the volcano or, the celebrated hot springs that emit from the base of the volcano where you can go and soak yourself in the purest thermal water.For the real adventurous there is great Class 3-4 whitewater rafting, riding ATV’s through rugged hill country and of course surfing. C’mon you know you’ve wanted to try it, heres your chance!
3. Why not use your dental vacation to begin to make serious lifestyle changes? Is your overall health in decline? High blood pressure perhaps? Type 2 diabetes, a lifestyle whose choices work against your general health?Think about taking a yoga vacation while you are on your dental vacation and maybe learn more about meditation. There are any number of opportunities and events that specialize in helping to educate you in living a better life.I recently met a woman from Sweden who teaches how to communicate with horses without touching them through a mind focusing process. Yes, it sounds a bit bizarre but it teaches a mental discipline you can apply to every part of your life. I have found Costa Rica to be a confluence of ideas, some exotic but always challenging, that are available for the curious and serious.
4. You can now end your procrastination and have world class dental care with a US trained and educated dentist, approved by Blue Cross/Blue Shield for their US policyholders and save 40-50% on average on your dental costs.Dr. Mario is a graduate of the University of Miami Dental School with specialties in implant and cosmetic dentistry. He has been in private practice since 1994 In Escazu. His reputation as a practicing dentist is second-to-none and he operates in an English friendly, a state-of-the art facility equipped with its own laboratory.His practice encompasses all of the disciplines of dentistry and he guarantees complete satisfaction. His practice is about 80% American and Canadian and he himself performs over 1,000 implants a year. His dental skills and ability to educate you as a patient will satisfy even the most skeptical and give you a high level of confidence about the outcome.
5. Finally, number five, myself. What do I bring to the table? I will promise you that from the time we first speak and discuss your dental needs you will have my undivided attention in planning and executing your dental vacation. You could also be eligible for up to a US$500 rebate on your R/T airfare.I will co-ordinate all your dental appointments before you arrive so you can plan travel on your free days. I will be at the airport to greet you and provide transportation to your B&B or hotel of choice. You will be my guest for your first dinner in Costa Rica. I will escort or meet you at all your dental appointments. If you’re interested, we will take short walking tours to educate you about the area you are staying in and so you will not be a prisoner in your room.You will have my contact number and have 24/7 access to me while you are in-country and,if you are a particularly good patient, I will buy you a cone at my favorite Italian gellateria.

Dr. Mario’s staff and I work very closely together so that there will never be a problem with rescheduling appointments or dealing with any issues that arise. It is our goal for you never to feel alone or isolated while you are here.

Finally, let me just add that there is no charge for my services. I work with Dr. Mario directly. No one else. By the time you arrive here we will be on the way to making friends and your well being and satisfaction are my goals… and that I guarantee.

Our immediate goal is to introduce you to world class dentistry at affordable prices and we will work with you personally, or your chosen travel agency, to facilitate any and every need you may have in making and fulfilling your travel itinerary.
