   My neighbor is flying to #Sweden from #Texas to get some dental work done. The dentist is a relative.

   My neighbor is also picking up a new iPhone for them as a thank-you gift (again, they're a relative).

   Do the math. Airfare to Sweden plus an iPhone plus the actual cost of the procedure (cash) is less than getting it done in the U.S.

   What the frick.

     @RL_Dane What procedure is this? Must be pretty major. Obviously with major surgeries this isnt surprising, but its hard for me to think of too many dentist stuff where this applies. Is it like a full mouth work up or something?

     So the price for an implant, no frills, in the USA is $1,500. So I am guessing it is multiple implants for something above the basic implant.

     Just wanted to put some numbers to this.

     LOL. I believe it involves some implants.
