hat is the country with the best dental care?

Friday, October 22, 2010

I want to have my extremely messed up wisdom teeth pulled, but here in the USA I am looking at paying $4,000; that is, $1,000 per tooth! I am also an up-and-coming traveler, and was wondering if I could go to another country-Thailand maybe? Or somewhere with good dental care-and get them removed for less. If anyone can tell me more about this I would greatly appreciate it.
--------------------
Dental care in the U.S. is by far from being the best in the world. The use of aniline chemicals like Lidocaine, Procaine, Carbocaine, etc. are not only dangerous, but aggressively carcinogenic and NO dentist I have ever seen or spoken too lets their patients know about this. Septocaine is not carcenogenic, but it has it's set of problems, but not nearly as severe and damaging as the others. Dentists are notorious for doing things as cheaply as they can to maximize their profits. A very good example of this is using Amalgam fillings instead of composites or bonded ceramics because those are more expensive for them and time consuming. We know Amalgam fillings not only contain mercury, but each one has infection breeding under it and eventually leads to the need for a root canal. If you don't think Amalgam fillings are bad, watch this video and you decide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylnQ-T7o… For years, dentists have been telling us that amalgam fillings don't emit mercury because the mercury is in a form that prevents this in the mouth. THAT IS BLATANTLY NOT TRUE. We are told to not eat fish due to mercury, but the mercury in amalgam fillings is emitted for over 1-1/2 hours after just rubbing it a little. Just think how much mercury is emitted from several teeth with amalgams and if you have a gold crown, the mercury leaves the fillings 80 times faster! If you care about your health, the price should be secondary to your health issue. Please understand that there is a big disconnect between doctors and dentists. This disconnect has led to many problems of the teeth not being associated with many problems, medically, with the body. There are infections under EVERY SINGLE AMALGAM FILLING. Amalgam does not bond to a tooth, so they have to remove huge amounts of good tooth to do a "reverse wedge" to hold the amalgam to the tooth and this leaves a small interstitial space between the tooth and the amalgam. Changes in temperature cause expansion and contraction due to the mercury in the amalgam. That space is a great breeding ground for bacteria and "biofilms" that generate huge problems for the body. No longer can you simply trust what the dentist tells you and you need to learn the facts yourself so you can make an INFORMED and EDUCATED decision as to how your teeth will be worked on. Be proactive and do your homework. good luck to you
