Bring access to the treatment plan and imaging
Keep the written plan and access to recent X-rays or CBCT. If another dentist will handle follow-up at home, ask the Colombian clinic what files they can provide.
A screenshot is not always enough for another clinician.
Plan food realistically
Ask about chewing restrictions, sensitivity and whether a soft diet is expected. A small kitchen can be useful during full-arch or extensive restorative treatment.
Keep simple options available on procedure days.
Know whether this trip ends the treatment
Some dental care is staged. Ask whether you leave with temporary or final restorations and whether another Colombia visit is expected.
The medical trip budget should include the whole treatment sequence.
Questions worth answering
- Will I leave with temporary or final restorations?
- What diet restrictions should I expect?
- Which imaging should I keep?
- Do I need another trip?
- Which medications belong in carry-on?

Email or WhatsApp is enough. Everything else is optional.
Medical, insurance, airline and immigration rules can change. Re-check the current official source and your treating provider before acting.
