This Week in Dental Tourism is a weekly Thursday slot. Each issue takes three to five items from the primary record — government announcements, regulatory guidance, peer-reviewed publications — and works through what the item plausibly means for the patient who is comparing a domestic and an international quote. Concede-pivot framing on every item: the strongest version of the case is named first, then the framing-correction. We do not link to news media or clinic websites; primary sources only.
This week in dental tourism
Five items from the primary record on global oral health, regulatory standards, and the structural conditions that produce dental tourism. Concede-pivot framing on each. The launch issue sets the column's posture: we report what the regulators and the peer-reviewed literature actually say, not what the marketing departments want them to.
