It might be a good place for a stag party or cheap weekend away but would you go all the way to Hungary just to get your teeth seen to? One company reckons it is the answer to shelling out hundreds or even thousands of pounds on treatment in the UK. The Hungarian Dentist Travel Company is spending the next week touring the country with a tent as their consultation room. Their first stop is a farm in Lincoln, where the company is based. Patient Malcolm Bramell said: "If I had a tooth implant it would cost £2,100 privately in Lincoln. I am with the NHS but they don't do implants here. I'm here to see how much it would cost if I went to Hungary.

'Dental tourism' is pretty strong here for two decades now: first Austrians, then Germans too, then Italians and French. That now Britons are part of it only means that the travel sphere grew further. I am guessing that the transport (and customs) integration of the EU and low-budget airlines had the main roles in this. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
