Advice to work as a dentist in Ireland

Hi smilesmile,

I only stumbled across your thread now. You may not be aware of this, but many Irish people are increasingly availing of dental treatment abroad because of the high cost of treatment here in Ireland. But good news for you!

This is your opportunity to enter as a registered dentist and offer a competitive price that would attract many customers. Registering is relatively easy here. You could open your own dental surgery and have your lab equipment transported here from Spain. Property prices are really cheap now - down 60% since 2007. However, advertise your business and prices - that's very important! In your advertisements, make a reference to something like " guaranteed 20% cheaper". I would recommend the north west region of Ireland - these are generally areas where many people go abroad to get treatment. I would not recommend working in partnership with existing Dentists.
