I took my 13 year old daughter to the finest orthodontist in Phnom Penh today expecting him to remove the lower wisdom teeth. He took a look at her x-ray and said, "I recommend you go to Bangkok, Singapore, KL, or to the U.S for this. This is too close to the nerves and I don't want to make a mistake." We aren't removing wisdom teeth for cosmetic reasons. The way her teeth are all jammed together, something has to give in order to make things right. I need to know where the best specialists are in orthodontics/oral surgery are? Any advice is truly appreciated.

Thanks!

A bird cleans its owner's teeth in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi province,

was smart and that he carried it wherever he went. [Newsphoto]

Anyone know the reasonable price
for laser whitening of teeth in Thailand?

I read online either 6,000 or 12,000 baht.
Is it possible to just walk in off the street
to a dentist like I saw one time in Chiang
Mai ?

Try Bangkok Dental Hospital on Soi 49, not the cheapest but good. If they do need a hospital they are buddies with Samitivej(sp?) up the road.

I've had oral procedures done in several Asian countries and 6000 baht seems rather expensive.
