Dentists in Bangkok or other regions of Thailand

Bangkok has some of the best value for money dental care on the planet. If you live in Thailand or you plan to come for holidays, you can enjoy world class dental care at fantastically low prices compared with Europe, America, Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore.

Better still, your Thai dentist most likely was trained in Europe, America, Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore. More and more hospitals and dental clinics are accredited by international bodies and are managed by internationally trained professionals. You choose. On top of that, you will find that the annoying 'God in White' self-perception of dentists in Bangkok is blissfully uncommon. Instead you can expect proper explanations and a friendly smile.

Dentist in Thailand vs. dentists in other countries

More than one million tourists come to Thailand each year specifically for medical treatment. No other country comes even close to this number. India for example, the number two destination for medical tourists in Asia, had only 140,000 visitors in 2005, most of which came from the neighboring countries Pakistan and Bangladesh and from Indians living abroad.

While a dentist in Thailand is slightly more expensive than one in an upcoming place like India or the Philippines, Thailand offers clearly the best overall value for money. You might pay a little bit more for the dentist in Bangkok than for a dentist in a less developed country, but you still pay about 70% less than back home and you have vastly superior options when it comes to enjoying the time you are not sitting in the dentist's chair. Thailand is famous for it's great beaches, it's fantastic food and ... most importantly, the friendliness of it's people. Many foreigners who live here call it LOS - Land of Smiles.

While there is a lot to love about Thailand, Bangkok in particular also has its drawbacks. Traffic conditions can be appalling and the heat and humidity of the place take a bit of getting used to. Try to choose a hotel in the same part of town as your dentist in Bangkok (Google Earth tips). Ideally both are near a sky-train or a subway station. The so called sky-train is a great way to visit places in Bangkok and the newly opened subway is most likely going to provide a more pleasant commuting experience than the tube back home. While both forms of public transport are crowded at times, they are clean, save, reliable and cheap.

For many of us the thought of visiting a dentist is horrifying. Visiting a dentist in a foreign country needs even more courage.
