Thai dental clinic

thai dental clinic aynaku travel illustration

“Please, open your mouth again”-the Thai dentist whispered-” finish, finish already!”
He was working efficiently and silently on my rotten tooth since twenty minutes at least.
Thai dentists are notoriously skilful and inexpensive, and that was not my first time. I never had a problem with them, and thought that time too, it was going over quite good… But the devil beats his drum, so to say, and suddenly the power ran out: dark! The little black room found me with my mouth wide open and my yes wide shut. The whispering doctor lit a candle, and carelessly stated that he was going to finish the job by the fair candle light: “keep cool” he said, “no problem”.
A bit struck by terror, I too whispered: “ok”, but felt deep inside that something painful was going to happen to me…A few seconds later, some bloody instrument he was handling, touched my gum for a moment, just a flash indeed, painful enough for made me jumping and running away to the outer and welcoming sunny world…

Illustration Friday’s topic is: open

A lot of vacationers on their way to hawaii hotels prefer getting one way flights as they are well aware of the affordable car rental rates at such destinations. Since most of their days are spent roaming around in vail resort, they usually stay at cheap hotels.

Ough! When I have to go the dentist I do it without thinking on it, because, if I take some time for thinking about the pain… oh gosh!

Love ur illo, Massimo :)

The Geneva Convention totally messed up by leaving out dentists. Bro, did you follow thru with the Thai DDS? The websites look alot more patient-friendly than US dentist. In US they keep a mysterious cloak over the procedures and prices and insurance companies even muddle it more. In the last 5 years it seems like more procedures are upgraded options and if you don’t want to look like a hobo you pay out of pocket. Anyway, thanks for the info!
