I am happy to have found a nice dentist (Dr. Luigi in Versailles), who insists on saving me money :).<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon.<br />-AAnimeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412663541603155070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-20142275768880883652012-10-11T19:31:39.724+02:002012-10-11T19:31:39.724+02:00Oh wow, looks like I'm not the only one who ha...Oh wow, looks like I'm not the only one who has dealt with shady dentists!<br /><br />For those who are wondering, my dentist's name is Dr Christiane Allogne, 7 Rue de Penthièvre in the 8th. Her prices are really reasonable too (maybe 28€ for a cleaning).

He's an older man. <br /><br />But.. is was an older American man who ripped me off in the States, so I would watch out for all ages and genders! The open availability is a good point, ditto getting a 2nd opinion if told that you need a costly procedure...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-59186861372220233022012-10-11T11:47:29.544+02:002012-10-11T11:47:29.544+02:00Like Megan, above, I used to only do my dental wor...Like Megan, above, I used to only do my dental work in the US, even though I had to pay full price for it. It was worth it...I have never found a dentist in France who seemed to have done any "real" studies at a legitimate institute of higher education. Would you mind emailing me via LJ the name of your real dentist, or putting the name here in comments? I'd love to find someone reputable who knows what they are doing.The Paris Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667503853760168339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-29727172177453378742012-10-11T08:21:26.211+02:002012-10-11T08:21:26.211+02:00I wish I had gone to your dentist.

At the beginning of summer I had to get one resin filling and one crown and since my husband was in the middle of switching jobs (and insurance) insurance didn't cover it... €1100!!! There went my summer holiday!

I've just spent $2300(NZ) on a root canal, done by a specialist. It turns out that, whilst the tooth wasn't in great shape, my intense pain was in fact due to neuralgia! I hate to think how much money I've spent on my teeth over the years, but I suppose I at least still have them!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785329897294524869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-78625499655400976022012-10-11T00:57:46.851+02:002012-10-11T00:57:46.851+02:00whoawhoapurejuicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957829225737068395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-32085756132808048892012-10-10T21:01:33.338+02:002012-10-10T21:01:33.338+02:00guys, I'm scared!

I had to have half my tooth drilled away! And an expensive crown to boot!
