Anyone ever go to Bangkok Hospital for their dental work?

I have to have nitrous oxide for one section of my mouth, and they offer it.  Money is not a concern.  Quality work is.

Thanks

Yes, they've got a very wide range of specialists there, and it's a particularly good place if you've got a more complex problem than a few fillings or crowns.

Sounds perfect.  For 80% of my mouth, a shot always does it.  But due to some childhood surgery I am in agony on my upper front four teeth...and I do mean agony.  Shots do nothing at all.  Nitrous oxide there usually gets me through.

Thanks!

The shot you take which I assume is novacaine is a much stronger anesthetic than nitrous gas. So if you really need your tooth to be totally numb....novacaine injection will be best.

I believe novacaine was replaced many decades ago as a large number of people have allergic reactions to it.   Xylocaine is what most dentists use now.

I think you overlooked my earlier post.  Shots do nothing for me in that one section of my mouth.  But, thanks for your input.
