A 3rd World Teeth Cleaning

So after waiting about a year and a half I decided to go to the dentist. This for me is something that I absolutely hate doing. Now if I would decide to go to a dentist in the states it is going to cost me a lot of money. Then if I had any cavities then the cost just goes up like crazy. I make a Honduran salary so paying a United States dentist is a pretty difficult thing for me to do. So I did the reasonable thing and visited the dentist here in La Union. Not knowing exactly what I was getting myself into I decided it was worth a try. The dentist here charges me 150 Lempiras for a teeth cleaning. This is about 7 dollars. So I sat down in the chair trusting the dentist who is also a man from my church named Dr. Bonnie who actually speaks quite good English. In fact he is the only other person here besides the teachers who speaks good English. An hour later I was quite surprised he did a job equal or better then any dentist I have ever had before. As I thought about it in the states you never really have the dentist work on you unless something is really wrong. Normally you just have an assistant so having a dentist work on you the whole time should be much better. Now I do have cavities which is kind of a bad thing but at least I am no longer freaked out about visiting a 3rd world dentist. They actually do quite a good job. So if anyone wants a good cheap teeth cleaning I would recommend coming out here to La Union.
