My wisdom teeth have been a constant problem in my life since they first peeked out my gums 7 years ago. Whilst living in Colorado I had one removed because it was impacted and causing infection. Over the summer it was finally the turn of the remaining 3 to be ejected from my mouth.Living in Switzerland is an expensive habit and when it comes to dental work, it's extortion. Stu suggested we go to Budapest to have my dental work done. So I did some research and got a few quotes back on having 3 wisdoms removed and a laser teeth whitening done. The quotes were cheap, we worked out that for the price of having 3 wisdoms removed in Switzerland we could get a week holiday in Budapest for both of us including the dental work. I booked an appointment with Kreativ Dental, found a cute little apartment, booked plane tickets and off we went.
The dentist office was very professional and pretty fancy complete with huge fish tanks, comfy chairs and an internet cafe. The dentist was friendly, spoke very good English and had a pretty good sense of humour, thankfully! The whole experience as far as the dentist is concerned was painless and cheaper than expected, but the pain was extremely painful and left me looking like a squirrel smuggling nuts.
Budapest itself is a beautiful city... so cosmopolitan in some ways and very much third world in others. Unfortunately the weather wasn't kind to us and it rained almost everyday but in hindsight it was probably for the best as I was in so much pain I didn't really feel up to sightseeing. I can't say this was the most memorable trip I've ever taken but it served it's purpose and I am not wisdom free :)
