My nearly 3 yr old son fell and 3 weeks later his front tooth was turning gray . It was dying.
Since we live and work in Laos where there is essentially no decent dental care, we always have to come to Thailand.
Our only experience prior to this for dental work, though, had been at Bumrungrad which is a phenomenal hospital and dental facility. However they aren’t really kid friendly. I knew my 2 year old would scream for the most basic cleaning as he hates strangers grabbing him, let alone a painful procedure. So I looked online for reviews and read one mom’s blog whose situation was the same as ours She said it was truly child friendly and joked that it looked like a cafe. When you arrive you will understand. (There are logos about coffee all over the front for some reason.) But don’t judge a book by its cover. This place was incredible! Families can wait in this large 2 room kid-friendly play area with all kinds of toys and play houses. The air conditioning was blasting which is good because in my son’s situation, he had to be strapped down in a little papoose yet it was still nice and cool for him.
We were at the dentist with our 4 kids along with many other kids while a toddler got a root canal, and my 2 older kids (ages 7 + 9) got cleanings, x-rays and sealant applied and yet my kids were completely entertained. No problems at all because time passed quickly.
I really appreciated the exam/operating room having glass windows which allowed parents to peak in. This brought such comfort to me and my kids.
My husband was allowed to stay with my toddler through the procedure and the whole time they played Peppa Pig on the tv screen in front of him so he was distracted as much as possible.
Our total for everyone was $450 USD in Feb 2024.
Needless to say we WILL be coming back!
Oh! I almost forgot! Since we were coming from out of the country what was amazing was that they texted with me through WhatsApp so I didn’t have to wait for emails. I could go back and forth explaining the issue, sending pics and X-rays we had and the coordinator sent them to the doctor who came in especially for us know a Sunday with just 2 days notice.
Highly recommend!
