In the meantime we went to the 'Highest Dental Clinic of the World', as they call it here. Every equipment is donated, from dental chairs, plastic gloves, to (almost expired) anesthetics. The charming wooden lodge-style clinic almost vanished away 2 months ago due to a huge fire at the neighbor's place, so they had to search for the still usable tools. Everything non-usable stuff in developed countries can be sent to here and you know what...? It's still really good; we are throwing too much away!
Anyway; good and bad news; Armand's problem was so severe that they actually didn't want to do more than providing antibiotics, which means that we will go up again to give it a try.
Since my teeth never give any problem (knock knock on oak wood; or do only the Dutch understand this habit ;-) ?), I didn't insure them, which means that I'm free as a bird where to do my check ups. So why not here?? For the first time in my life I heard enthusiastic Ohhhs and Ahhs, pretty nice ego lift (although it's something so uncontrollable as the hardness of your enamel :-) ) After some scratching, showing their own jaws (...) and my first polish treatment ever we went; me with a real Hollywood smile ;-)
Further spend a (Nepali) fortune on painkillers and several antibiotics to fight the viruses which happily nested in my lungs and nose and let the BC know they can expect us around May 7 or 8 again. We are pretty done with counting the raindrops here and have the feeling that the treatments have booked their first success!
So... next update from the BC!
