Answer 5

Here in Spain its 55€ but its done with laser machine so none of that pulling and tugging that I dreaded in the UK years ago that used to make your gums bleed. I hate going to the dentist but at least here its not such a rip off.  When I lived in the UK the dentist ALWAYS found something to do, so I was constantly paying out. I've been going to the same dentist in Spain for 14 years and only ever had one other thing done besides the 6 monthly check ups and cleaning??? Nothing is ever wrong with them here, funny eh???
