Going Dental
My dentist is south african. He is a great guy plus every visit is painfree. (note here that I said PAINfree...not just free! )
His surgery is quite groovy for a dental clinic. Lots of nice bright colours like yellow and purple and some cute cartoons on the walls to lure the little ones into a sense of safety.
For the adults, there are lots of educational magazines to choose from. I mean where else would I learn about Scuba Diving in the Carribeans, Racing a Yacht around the world or having a romantic dinner in Monaco.
I'm a regular client, It's a shame they don't have one of those special deals, so that for every 5th treatment you have done you get the next one free.
My dentist is really gentle when it comes to injecting the aneasthetic into my gum, by far the best dentist and I've seen many, believe me. Sometimes I wonder whether a stronger aneasthetic should be used once again just before you are about to pay.
Last year I spend $A 1500.00 on one tooth ! My dentist had to refer me to see a specialist for a root canal therapy treatment on one of my back mollars. Think about what you can buy with that kind of money...maybe a new flat screen TV ?...a computer ?...a weekend away ?...The most disappointing thing about spending that kind of money on a tooth is that showing it off to your friends just doesn't quite have the same effect as when you bought yourself $A 1500.00 worth of clothes or jewellry.
It all started with pain and swelling in my face, it was late at night and I was getting kind of worried, my wife rang the emergency department of a close by hospital and in turn they gave us the emergency dentist phone number to ring. This dentist whom I didn't know, wanted to charge me just $A 100.00 for opening his door but wouldn't give me any information as to what he would do afterwards if anything. I think that before I give someone some money upfront and that person is going to be possibly working on my body, it gives me the right to be given some information as to what is going to happen. However my dental emergency phone call ended abruptly when he said " Look, I'm tired, I've had a long day and I don't have time for this kind of thing !" and then he hang up.
As an afterthought, it's probably best that I didn't go and have treatment with him since he was agitated and agro over the phone, he probably would have butchered me.
Anyway, that story took place last year however, yesterday my dentist started work on a new root canal ! ...wanna have a look ?
