    Anyone had a good dental experience in Manila?

    I'm looking to get some treatment done while I'm there. I'll of course check the web . I would like to know if anyone here has had any personal positive dental experiences and would like to share ?

    Regard
    Mark

    Just had one of my back teeth pulled out.. I`m scared of dentists BTW..
    Far better experience than what I experienced in the UK..
    I asked him when he was about to yank it out.. He said,"Its already out"!!
    This old fella was really good.. Seems he was in a private practice in Detroit for a good many years before he got to me!!

    It must have been loose Fred. When I had a tooth out a few months ago, the dentist was pretty much dragging me across the room by it. Believe me, I knew when it was out and when it wasn't.

    I havent been on any dental clinics in Manila but our dentists in Davao are very good. They were husband and wife that works in Davao Doctors Hospital Outpatient Building, my husband Paul prefers the lady dentist and I am under the husband, Doc Gary. They were expensive like P500 for prophylaxis which is way more cheaper compare here in the UK.

    I'm sure someone will recommend one from Manila but in case you drop by in Davao then seeing The Batillier dentists is worth a go. Goodluck to you! xxx

    Good for you NHS slots are few and far between where I live.

    Being the generous guy I naturally am, I'd rather the deprived folks take those British tax payer funded options, which was the original purpose of setting up the NHS in the first place.

    I learn something everyday day gWapito, i never knew the NHS was set up for deprived folks only, i thought it was for everyone, rich or poor , funny my misses never asks to see anyone's bank balance before being treated

    i am a taxpayer i see you would rather go private so they only

    Yes I know a great female dentist in Pasig
    I had a crown and a bridge done at this place
    Crowns were 5k each when compared to the uk its very cheap
    All work was done to my total satisfaction and that was around 3 years ago
    The crown and bridge are still going strong today

    Good price LM, if that's still the going rate Much better than paying £600 per crown. With the other work needed doing as well, the savings should pay for the whole holiday, let alone just the flight...I don't feel so guilty now taking this break so soon after having one in January.
