Not stupid. Low skill required for low competition areas
Any recent experience with a good dentist in Xindian? English speaking preferred but not essential. Not sure I want to face the âqueueingâ system in the ZiJi hospital this week!
My experience⌠I needed to get my teeth looked at. Twas 4 or 5 years since I had anything done. I decided not to visit a clinic but go to the hospital dental service.
What a great service. First had my teeth lightly cleaned second session was taking photos and xrays of all my teeth. lots of plaque buildup bit no holes in teeth so no fillings or root canals. So next 4 sessions around an hour each was to clean the plaque under the gums. So each session one section top left, bottom left, top right bottom right. At bottom right my back two molars really bad so needed a 3 hour surgery where gums are cut and peeled back to get all the plaque down to the bone.
Dentist was great and really gentle with the injections. All in was around either NT$150 or NT$340 including meds. All done in Chinese though but the dentist was under 40 and did speak English.

Which hospital dentist in Xindian was that with?
Was not in Xindian. But suggest you go to a hospital dentist. You can book online with whomever you want to get you teeth looked at. So find out what hospital has a dental operation and search the dentists online.
Taiwan Adventist is pretty good.

+1 You can make appointments online as well. Many of the dentists are trained abroad. The co-pay is about $50 more than other dentists, but they donât jerk you around with unnecessary procedures.

I went to an excellent dentist at the Chiayi Christian hospital and have plaque removed from below the gum line. There is a good hospital dental clinic there.
Prime Dentist , walking distance from Shin tien district office MRT . Without a doubt the best. Ultra fluent English no predatory hidden agenda. Super clean and modern . Right away you will know you are in good hands and just that alone brings down anxiety in a huge way. Took me years of lousy dentists and 3 incisors to find these guys. You donât know how lucky you are.

Been there, English level is certainly high, as are the prices! Service level so-so, youâre not getting a proper deep clean there, the ultrasonic I got done was definitely the fastest and least detailed Iâve ever gotten in Taiwan.
They saved teeth the others wanted to pull cant say im disappointed

I really have no other personal experience to compare " a deep below gum cleaning " to. They did save 3 teeth another wanted yank in what Im guessing is to sell me implants for a sack of money. Could time spent on deep cleaning vary from case to case ? When they were done with my upper left molars and when anesthesia wore off they sure felt like they got a work out âŚI am going in over a period of time , a section at a time , if it is expensive I dont mind âŚconsider it a tip for saving my teeth that some other money grubber wanted to extract⌠money well spent in my opinion and I am grateful. Could have as well ended up with another lousy dentist⌠I factor in my time of running from dentist to dentist even those recommended by friends one of which shrugged her shoulders , turned her back and walked away when I asked if there was a problem this was nearly 5 years agoâŚand yes there was a problem and tnen some. This dentist was States educated and fluent English. Live and learn I guess. Respect
