I’m hooked on cheap dental, I just can’t get enough of it. Let’s say that your body is your house, yes? If so, your teeth are most certainly your front door. If you have a dirty front door, what would guests think? It’s like when you end a long relationship and realize you look like sh!t, it’s time to clean up the house if future prospects who opt for the open house are to stick around and you know, lease or buy.
Getting your teeth cleaned for less than an appetizer at Dennys is something that turns my crank. Today we’re going to discuss a gem of a dentist that I found on Big Corn Island who has, arguably, one of the best waiting room views I’ve seen anywhere around the world. The cost of a cleaning is $8 and there is rarely a line; some gent had a tooth pulled before me; that didn’t look fun. The photo above was taken from his waiting room aka front porch.
This guy is oldschool medieval style with tools from horror movies. He also doesn’t use a seat as he prefers to stand. I’ll be straight with you, when I saw this scene developing I did cringe a bit but it was a painless clean. Some say I’m kinda nuts for getting my teeth done so often but I reckon that if you go all the time; you’ll never be scared of going. Getting your teeth cleaned often is like changing the oil in a car; much easier than having your engine cease.
When you’re getting dental done in the developing world your first question is about sterilization techniques. Sure it won’t look like back home but sterile is sterile, yes? I’m back on the Big Island now as I have become addicted to daytime power and fast internet. There is a spot near this view where you can drink cold beachside beers for $0.70 each which is basically the cheapest I’ve found anywhere on this planet. Who knows, after a few drinks it might be time to get a touch up before London? Why not?
I’m beyond over paying $140 for a cleaning back home. The dentist only comes to check at the end and give you a suggestion for some expensive treatment. The rest of the time you’re being herded through the cleaning stations like cattle and often being cleaned by some disgruntled dental hygienist; no thanks.
Off to Granada, Nicaragua on Monday; then London, England.
Speaking of $8; that’s the price of the lobster lunch above; hard to beat.
I’ve rode the ferries back and forth all week; I don’t miss commuting…
