Stan, I was there this afternoon, In a Cotton T-Shirt thats at LEAST 10 Years old !!!

I would imagine yanking out loose teeth of "middle-aged" men would be a lot easier - and therefore cheaper - than what sounds like a more "surgical" extraction of what I assume might have been 3rd molars - or wisdom teeth.

This guy's pretty straight up - don't imagine his prices are too much on the old "sliding scale".

My only complaint with him - and virtually every dentist I've been to in this country - and they've been many I can tell you! - is that they tend to fix things that are broken (surprise surprise), rather than doing a complete check, evaluation, and treatment plan.

But then why should dentists buck the cultural norms? Especially when 90% of the patients expect just this - with their dentists, or doctors, or mechanics, etc.

Personally, I prefer to take steps to prevent breakdowns (or toothaches or amputations!)...so I must guide them to check all my teeth and then advise me. Typically, they'll notice something and say, "Oh you do have a cavity that should be taken of back there..." or whatever.

Yeah, thanks Doc - glad you caught that.

Hello all!!!

I'm Ceci, I'm living in Vientiane at the moment and expeirnecing a horrible toothpain. I have to go to Thailand tomorrow and I'm thinking of paying a visit to this doctor you talk so well about. Any chance you can give me more details about how to find him?? I know very little of Nong Khai and nothing around the train station.

My pain will thank you all! =)

When you come across the bridge and turn left to head into NK,you will see the dentist office on the left hand side about 1 KM up the road.Maybe 500Meters after you cross the train tracks!

Thank you!!!! Super helpful! Wish me luck =)

ccik, there is an excellent dentist in Vientiane - a lady virtually directly opposite the Rattana Business College. She does really good work and is cheap. I paid $100 for a crown.

I thoroughly endorse NK Stan's recommendation.

CCIK, The Dentist's Shop is painted BRIGHT Orange,You really cannot miss it......
