Aaaaah that clip is a classic. Horrifying! .

Last time we went to dentist was March 2020 waiting for our flight ✈️ out of India during the pandemic. Eek.

Turned out it was amazing. We were in the chair four hours each and didn't feel a thing even without anesthesia - she was so gentle! We both had them cleaned, and Jamie had all his metal fillings replaced (he's English.. he had a lot) and a few new ones. I had two replaced and three new ones.

Came to the grand total of... Wait for it... $500 USD. And we haven't been back to the dentist since...

Probably cheaper to fly to India for dentistry. We met an Aussie couple in the room next door when we were there who get their spectacles there every two years, and go to the dentist. They fly in, see the optometrist, go off travelling, get their dentist works and pick up their new eyewear before flying out. And even with the flights etc it still costs them less than Australia.

What an amazing experience! People used to go to Mexico for dental work an there were some good dentists right across the border. But then the cartels moved in and even killed a couple of them, and will kill Americans when they have a chance. It's not safe to travel to Mexico anymore sadly, which is such a shame because it's a beautiful country!

I need to get a crown done still, which won't be coming cheap... Welcome the dental care in the first world! lol
