Teeth - extraction

[Russell17au]

The wife had a tooth pulled last Monday and the main problem that we found here in Khon Kaen was the lack of dentists in their clinics to do extractions even though the clinics were open they were only manned by the female assistants doing the beautification dentistry and the actual dentist would not be in for a few days to a week. So we ended up at the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University

I don't know where you are, but I will be in Ratchaburi for just 10 days so the question is if I get any complication what can I do? My return fight is booked will my dentist in OZ agrees to rectify any mistakes the Thai dentist has made.

Does it really mattter if the price for an extraction is 200 or 2000 THB?

I would think more important is to get a professional good and as painless as possible treatment.

My experience with dental treatment in Thailand (pattaya) is much better than in Germany with it's waiting lists and poor service even for private insured patients.

Took a lot of time and running around. First when we got there we went into the main building about 11:30 and my wife registered and then she was sent to building 2 for a test and after a bit of time waiting she finally was sent back to the main building for an x-ray which didn't take long and then she was told to comeback about 17:30 and she will see the dentist about 19:30 or maybe if someone does not come back then she might be seen earlier. Ended up getting her tooth extracted at 18:45 and after paying the bill we left there at 20:15

It’s a little weird here in Thailand every time I go to Dentist they put that over my face just a hole where my mouth is so I can’t really see anything. It’s kind of strange, but I highly recommend the university of Chiang my dental clinic. They are the most reasonable and very professional TIT.

It's distracting having someone looking up and around while you are trying to drill or whatever. This the face covering.
