Amazing Service in Chiang Mai (part 1)

I was walking down the street yesterday and notice a dental office (Dental4U Clinic) with a sign outside with some rates of the services they provide so I popped in to inquire about a cleaning and found the prices a fraction of the cost in the USA, particularly in California.
Some may be thinking why would you need to get dental work in Thailand when you have benefits working for the City of San Diego? Many people are under the illusion that working for the City we get great benefits....wrong! Actually we get a skeleton medical plan and in fact if you look closely there have been many changes even in the plan that I have but certainly no dental or vision.
I was not completely honest with dentist today when she asked me when I was last at a dentist office, I told her 5 years but actually it has been 10 years and I was embarrassed to say. I've been wanting to go see a dentist for a few years now and would look at ads trying to figure out where to go at a minimum cost. My previous dentist experiences were not positive and they always seem to need to do all this work. They are suppose to be the experts and they have out teeth in their hands.
The people here were very kind and gentle. They were committed in making me comfortable. All the noise freaked me out but I would have that wherever I go. They did an exam and proceeded with the cleaning. After the cleaning the comforting woman explained for my age my teeth are in good shape and I would need one filling. I've been in the fear for not going to the dentist in all these years that I would need more extensive work, so I was really relieved. For the cleaning it was 600baht and the filling was another 800baht (a total of about $45 USD).
