Health and insurance
GOV.UK advises travellers to check that the destination can provide healthcare they may need and to arrange appropriate travel insurance. For dental tourists, that means reading policy wording carefully because elective dental treatment and complications from planned procedures may be excluded.
Medication
Carry prescription medication in hand luggage with a prescription copy. If medication is controlled, addictive, psychotropic or high value, check restrictions before travel.
