Received unexpected dividends today of 65 euro from the shares I own in my Employer company.
Went to Dentist for a check-up and needed two fillings - 80 euro.
Net loss of 15 euro - not bad I suppose.
Anyway Dentist said I need 4 crowns at 950 euro each (they were 750 each at my last check-up). So 4 * 950 = 3800 euro = 5700 US Dollars.
Now Ireland has a reputation for expensive Dentists. I've heard of people getting Dental work done a lot cheaper in Eastern Europe e.g. Bulgaria. I think Asia, e.g. Thailand, is even cheaper again.
I think Bulgaria would be as good quality Dentist-wise as Ireland. I don't know how good the standard of Dentist-training is in Thailand or how well regulated they are.
So I'm considering taking a weeks or 10 days holiday to somewhere exotic to get my Dental work done and make a holiday out of it too !! And all for less than what I would pay in Ireland.
Has anyone done this or can anyone recommend any particular countries ?
So here's to the birth of my latest Savings fund - Dental Vacation !
Dental Tourism anyone ?
