khunphil Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I just get an Antigen rapid test in Chiangmai Ram, due to short hospitalization. Not sure if they provide for outpatient. But you can ask them. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dentist is to hang over someone's open mouth for half an hour or more and he's not entitled to be assured (to the extent possible) that his patient is not infected?

If someone just came back from international travel, then just got out of 2 weeks solitary quarantine and tested twice. As you correctly state, if infected...has zero to do international travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxeo Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I was at my dentist today for checking through. The normal procedures as everywhere plus using a desinfecting mouth wash when sitting in the chair and before the doc started acting. That was it.

I think that if there is a free bed in a hospital you will be taken there, of course you will be charged for your stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqwakvfr Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I recently had another COVID 19 test(I’ve had 5 so far this year) at a well known hospital in CNX. I was scheduled for an endocospy and colonoscopy and a Covid 19 test was required. The hospital charged 900 Baht and it was the nasal swab PCR test. I thought they were going to charge me 3000 Baht but one gets a discount if you spend almost 40,000? The Not Detected result came back in less then 24 hours. For comparison I paid $150 and $175 for RT-PCR tests in Los Angeles. Just on a separate note if one is over 50 and at the very least I would recommend talking to a Gastroenterologist about getting a Colonoscopy(could be a life saver or life extender).

There is no way locals are having a test before going to the dentist. How does the dentist know you are not infected? He has a right to stay safe. You think this is unacceptable better don't come to Europe. I need test before a haircut, in Germany shopping only with test and on appointment other than supermarket.

Those who have travelled internationally into Thailand present the least risk..... particularly if they go from their 14 day quarantine directly to the Dentist !!!... There... I think that spells that one out..... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I think it perfectly reasonable for a dentist to require a Covid-19 test if they are going to carry out a necessary procedure. Otherwise, if its something that can wait, let it wait until the Covid-19 risks have died off. If a procedure is necessary - should the test be Antigen or RT-PCR ??? ..... thats up to the Dentist. A Rapid antigent test should / could be sufficient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
