Manila: Provider of Bespoke Dental Care
Manila is at the midpoint of the eastern shoreline of Manila Bay, which it shares with the other fifteen cities that make up the Manila Metro. The capital city of the Philippines is Number 15 in the highest recorded population density in the world. The climate is tropical savannah bordering on tropical monsoon. Rain falls regularly from December through to May. English is the lingua franca, and is spoken in business, education, and social interaction.
School education follows a three-tier model, with pride of place taken by the pilot Manila Science High School, and the city-owned University of Manila and Universidad De Manila. Elsewhere in the University Belt are the state-controlled University of the Philippines Manila, the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and the Manila Central University.
Two seats of higher learning provide advanced dental training. The College of Dentistry of the Manila Central University dates from 1929, and offers a doctorate of dental medicine and a dental hygiene course with clinical training. The Private University of the East provides pre-dentistry diplomas, masters in periodontics, endododontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics, and a doctorate of dental medicine. This ensures a steady flow of dental practitioners willing and able to attend to the needs of the most discerning dental tourist.
The Board of Dentistry administers licensing of dental practitioners on behalf of the Professional Regulation Commission. This helps ensure that Manila dentists train to the highest professional levels and maintain ethical standards. Americans and Australians flock to Manila to receive implants, crown work and elective surgery. This costs surprisingly little on foreign exchange cross rates.
