Dental care in Taiwan
We’re impressed with the quality of dental care in Taiwan. The dentists here really know their stuff. Stacy needed a root canal (again), and her dentist managed to save a tooth that was almost dead. She’s going to need some more dental work, too, unfortunately. The description of the procedure is pretty hair-raising. The dentist will pull out the tooth, scrape out some stuff, then plant the tooth back in her jaw. It sounds like landscaping in your mouth.
Not only are is the quality of work good, but it’s so much cheaper than in the US. Stacy’s root canal cost about US$300, a fraction of what it would cost in the US. Stacy’s really happy with her dental experience (as happy as one can be with a root canal). She says that the procedure didn’t hurt a bit. Who’d have thought?
