What cheeses me off

At least you can get a script- yeah?

Dentist sent one electronically from Capetown.

Wife is housekeeper at motel.

Last week one of the rooms had poo flung all over the walls. What sort of disgusting filth behaves this way? L

There’s a certain type of person who thinks if they pay for something they can do what they like and damn anyone else. Obviously including flinging faeces all over the wall.

… that Mariah Carey song we keep hearing this time of year… I break out in a rash just thinking about it..

I've been so devoid of Christmas cheer this year that I haven't touched any of my Christmas jumpers and have only been to 1 Christmas market, which was only a byproduct of catching up with a friend!

We aren't big on presents for Christmas now that the gkids are 18 & 16 but we do a Kris Kringle/Secret Santa for our family at Christmas lunch.
Just wrapping the presents now and have run out of sticky tape

I think dentists have fantastic sense of humour.

I have 2 broken teeth that are not fully broken and need to be removed. Cost is $394 per tooth and with laughing gas bill comes to around $1200. Medibank doesn't cover much. Now another tooth has broken next to one of the other broken ones.

Please send me a treatment plan. And I received an email with a cost of $3800 to remove 3 teeth, 9 fillings and laughing gas.

I struggled to justify $1200 and if they think email would change my mind they are kidding.

We called some dentists in Thailand mainly dental hospital in Chiang Mai. Tooth extraction is between $50 and complex $150. Fillings are $30-$50 and laughing gas is $50 to maxinum $100.

I can have a holiday in Thailand and get my teeth done for the price they want here. Ridiculous.

Agree.

I have been going for any dental work in Thailand for years.

My last annual check-up involved a 360 degree-3D scan, teeth cleaning, and a tiny gum-line filling.

795 baht.

And that’s at a top dental clinic in Bangkok.

My father’s crown and bridge work in Collins Street… AUD16000. Same dental clinic in Bangkok $3200. The crowns and bridge fitted so well on the first visit they cancelled the follow up leaving my folks at a loose end for a week!

Name of the clinic?

Thank you! Hopefully only a 6-9 month wait and then things will start to progress and life will uptick again from there

Name of the clinic?

The S Digital Dental Clinic (Invisalign and Implant Centers) คลินิกทันตกรรม ดิเอส สาทร (Suanplu 8 Sathorn)

Not to be confused with the S Dental Clinic Bangkok! Which is a different place!

For S Digital Dental, it says you can book online, but it’s never worked for me, and they don’t have a website. You can contact them on facebook to make an appointment.

The price of their implants are pretty much the same as Australia. They use the same german i plants, so there’s not really that much cost saving by the time you add in the airfares and accommodation. So if you need that done, better to have it here in Oz.

Where they really come in cheap if for the pre- and subsequent work, things like making the crowns or bridges. Or fillings etc.
