Vancouver, Canada

March 4, 2007 by SUM.

After having a hole drilled in my molar and being service denied at LWTC I decided to have my tooth repaired with a dentist in Vancouver, Canada.

I had heard that the Canadian health care service is more affordable. And since my cousin was living in Vancouver at that time I asked him for a dentist’s recommendation. Afterwards I’m not so sure whether I saved some money consulting with a dentist in Canada. It cost me $1,342 for a root canal and gold cap. Additionally, I had to pay for driving several times forth and back to Canada not counting the time it took me to get there.

The only comfort I can derive from this experience is being able to visit my cousin several times while I had my dental appointments. Given the fact that his stay in Vancouver was limited–he works for the German Consulate, and the employees rotate posts every four years and move to a new assignment somewhere else in the world–I didn’t mind driving up there. Each time I consulted with the dentist, I visited my cousin and he was a good host.
