How to best source foreign dental patients (UK dental health tourists) who are after cheaper dental services?



Hi there,
Being indirectly involved in the dental surgery and dental cosmetics business, I am now trying to identify the best ways of sourcing foreign dental patients (particularly the UK dental patients and Dental Health tourists) who are now looking for cheaper dentists and dental cosmetics services outside the borders of their home countries.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could simply refer me to the right track or the right way of thinking when it comes to most effectively reaching the target audience which is in this case foreign dental cosmetics patients who would be happy to travel abroad in order to get their teeth fixed much cheaper than in their home countries.
Naturally, some simple questions have come up such as:

Can any online forums used by dental patients or dental health tourists be recommended?
Any ways of accessing the dental patients waiting lists?
How to best source and reach dental health tourists (particularly those coming from the UK as their home country) who are now looking to significantly save their money when getting their teeth professionally fixed?

" If you want a long term relationship with your teeth , have a long term relationship with your dentist"

So travelling abroad 2 get cheap dental treatment ,with a dentist you do not know, and who you may not see regularly is not a good option .

One often sees over treatment (ie treatment done that was not needed) from "dental tourists".So all Im saying is BE AWARE and assess it well.One way is 2 get a plan of treatment needed locally and compare it 2 the proposed treatment abroad . They will not be exactly the same but should not differ radically……If they do then ask why !!!!!
Even the tone of the question ie "target audience" worries me

    This is not the correct place to be asking such an in depth question. You need more specialist information and there is already a well established market for the area that you are enquiring about.

    These companies are already well established with huge advertising budgets and very smooth operations with assessments taking place in London prior to going abroad for treatment.
    Buy yourself some glossy expensive magazines and national newspapers and do your homework in the advertisement section.

    The waiting lists you wish to access are within the hospital set up which is different and there are no waiting lists as such within private practise. If you have the finance in place treatment it available immediately in most areas.
