We are considering having work done on our child's teeth in Belize as we make our move to spend more time down there and rather than having to travel back and forth around orthodontist appointment. Is there someone really good anyone can recommend? We would have the dental records sent down there to in order to continue where the first phase of work has been left off to date.

There are 2 dentists, located in Belize City that are always highly recommended.

My family uses Dr. Pedro Habet of The Dental Center www.thedentalcenter.bz He is a qualified orthodontist.

And there is the Heusner's Professional Dentistry clinic - Dr Adrian Heusner. I am unsure if he is an orthodontist but he is certainly popular and produces nice results.

Don't use Dr. Franklin Hernandez in San Pedro, he claims to be an orthodontist but he isn't.

Thank you Amanda!

What is an average cost for a routine cleaning/checkup in BZ dollars!

Water taxi 60 BZD

Adjusting Bracelets every 4-5 Weeks 125-150 BZD

What are "bracelets" in this context?

bracelets is another term for braces.

Thnx Cayemen. Our place is in Placencia, so would probably incorporate a trip to the dentist with a trip to the city.

catdance-Dangriga based dentist Dr. Dalilah Vanzie, aka The Tooth Fairy, will open an office in Placencia village very soon.

I just saw that online in the Breeze--how awesome! Thanks Katie for posting it as well.
