Samitivej sriracha hospital - Children's Dental clinic

[treysd3]

Hello All, I wanted everyone to have a update on the children's Dental facility at Samitivej sriracha hospital. What an amazing experience this place was for my 3 1/2 year old daughter. She has Milk mouth or decaying teeth in the front. Unfortunately I am not hear to take care of her at all times like I would as I work out of the country for extended periods of time. So I looked at multiple places throughout Pattaya and for some reason the best place I felt for her was the hospital with the children's facility. You have to book there to get a reservation as they are not open for children everyday during the week and weekend. We where fortunate we got an appointment on Saturday so we took it.

We arrived and the ladies at the front desk where extremely nice and it was very easy to fill out all the forms as this was our first time in the hospital. When it was time for my daughter to go into the children's treatment room the nurse and doctor came out to greet my daughter and started speaking so nice and soft and comforting for my daughter. We went in the room and it is geared towards children as they have toys to play with and the decor is all for children in the treatment room. They both talked to my daughter first for 5 minutes getting to know her and making her feel comfortable with both of them.

When they finally laid her down they gave her a Hello Kitty mirror to use to watch what they where doing. So after the teeth review they needed to do X-rays and then bring her back in the treatment room. They figured that she also has some cavities to treat as well. I figured this was going to be a very long process with the cavities and the tooth decay but the dentists let us know that they will be treating the cavities today to make sure my daughter can handle them over her and with instruments in her mouth. Then they will fix the tooth decay next time with caps to make her front teeth somewhat beautiful again until her adult teeth come in. We where very lucky that after the X-rays that she did not need full root canals on the 2 front teeth.

So as they started with her cavities I have never seen doctors treat someone with such gentle care and encouragement. I do not remember this as a kid when I went to the dentist. They where so positive and had little toys that counted the time when they needed the time counted..They talked with her and made her feel comfortable. Encouraged her the entire time and it was anything but scary for my little girl. My daughter was part of the entire procedure and it went perfect. Now the cost isn't as cheap as all the other places but it was well worth the extra money for the comfort, safety, and pleasant experience for my daughter.

the cost was as follows. 2 cavities fixed today

900 thb - Doctor Fee & cavity fix

900 thb -Doctor Fee & cavity fix

140 thb - sterile

750 thb - Xray

100 thb - Medicine that they put in tooth trays

Total 2790 thb

Now I don't know the exact cost for the next treatment for the tooth decay. I will update this the next time we go in February. I thought this might help some of you out there looking for a quality dental experience for your child in Thailand.

The cost seems a little high, it is important to have the dentist possible. I would be interested in knowing the cost of the second visit. I live in pattaya and BPH would be more convenient . Does anybody if BPH has good dentist for children?

About how long does it take to drive to the hospital from Pattaya under normal traffic conditions?
