Anyone Found A Less Expensive Quality Alternative To Dental Hospital Suk #49

[bangkokburning]

Need to have a checkup, cringing at the 1600+ bill.

Thx

No, BIDC is not it but thanks ☺

You can get the bill lower by telling them you do not want Xrays or fluoride application.

Thanks. Already killed the flouride and xrays only as neccessary.

Im also due for a bit of work as well.

Last check I had a panorama, it had been some years.

Do you think they push the bitewing a little too much? I think I have these done as needed and every year or so.

Have you noticed all the other clinics on or around Suk 49? Trouble is if I change, Id rather it more city center.

Sheryl would you say dental procedures and autoclave are 100% safe procedures in any large clinic in BKK. Ive had hepB vax but worry about C,D,E and hiv.

I don;'t think routine Xrays are necessary in adults unless you have a specific complaint, but perhaps some of our retired dentists on TV can weigh in.

To my understanding the main issue from say 35 onward is gum disease. A visual examination followed by a through cleaning/scaling is what is most important.

I think the sterility and cleanliness of most dental facilities in Thailand are OK. What keeps me at the Dental Hops is that no place else that I have found yet is as thorough.

Reminds me I am overdue for a check-up and cleaning myself. Luckily I am in Phnom Penh right now which has an excellent dental hospital.
