here we go again..the dentist beside the Dusit Resort entrance (in the pink stand-alone building) is my favourite. Not only is he fabulously handsome and talented but he spends 2 days in Bangkok teaching dentistry at Bumrumgrad hospital. Prices are so cheap you would drop dead..about a tenth of western prices. This dentist is the gentlest I have ever encountered..I am yet to feel a needle he has given me. And his work is superb.Originally Posted by schaltjahr
Others of course will have their favourites.
I'm only a light drinker. When it's daylight I drink.
Oh so that's what you meant when you told me last week over lunch "I haven't had a prick in twenty years"
I've good experiences with the dentist in the Pattaya Memorial Hospital. Absolute painless double root-canal-treatment and crown placement.
THB 15,000.
Just hop in there and make an appointment, very friendly people.
My dentist is in Jomtien "Smile time" Dr Preecha 406/335 Phratamnak Road. He is excellent and not pricey. Very near Mignon restaurant halfway between Family Mart and 7/11
Dr. Tepeset(not correct spelling). Great person...Thai but was raised and educated in the States. I don't like dentists and have run into some questionable ones in LOS, this dentist you can trust. Good sense of humor.
How well are the instruments cleaned by these dentist.I hear rave reviews of the dentistry here in Thailand...but. I get my teeth cleaned twice a year in the states and theres always some blood involved.The worst diseases are blood born,hep c,hiv. If the prices are so low,are they reusing stuff that should be thrown out? In Egypt a few years back,they reused syringes for an immunity shot and over a million people now have hep c.
Interesting to see, from the posts above, that dentists in Thailand are styled "Doctor X", "Doctor Y" or whatever. I recently discovered some surprising facts on that - certainly applicable to the UK and maybe to Thailand too?
In the UK, there is a growing trend for dentists to capitalise on the general public's ignorance by unilaterally calling themselves "Doctor", even though they do not actually have a qualification entitling them to do so. They are almost all rightly just "Mister". But it seems that, anxious to boost their social standing, UK dentists are now not only accepting it when patients call them "Doctor" but are also using it in their advertising, letterheads, nameplates, etc.
By the way, in actual fact, all medical practitioners in the UK ought also to be just "Mister X"* as all they possess is a Bachelor's degree in medicine [see http://www.yourgpguide.org.uk/Explanations.aspx for full details.] They are only "doctor X" in the sense that you or I might be "plumber X", "schoolteacher X" or "driving instructor X" - i.e. doctoring people is just the job they do, not their awarded qualification. When you are sick, you are calling in a doctor - not calling in the Doctor! Note too, by the way, how the very top medical practitioners - hospital consultants - are all happy to be called just "Mister", i.e. accepting both that they do not have an awarded doctorate in anything and that they are no longer "doctoring" directly to patients either.
* Except for a very small minority of medical researchers who might have gone on to obtain a PhD.
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
or maybe people who aren't doctors (ie medical practitioners) shouldnt be called Doctor? a person who has a PhD in economics is still an economist, not a doctor
You are confusing the term "doctor" with "medical practitioner". Anyone holding a doctorate is entitled to be called "Doctor" if they so wish. Educated people are aware that a Doctor of Medicine is not the only sort of doctorate
