[quote="trapezius"]Dental cover in class A is limited to 2.5k Riyals per year.

Quite sufficient I would say for several fillings and similar stuff.[/quote]

Well, in the past two years I've had all four wisdom teeth out, three root canals, about 10+ fillings, and a couple of cleanings.

So I guess I needed a bit more. LOL.

In Al-Khobar, I had the most fabulous dentist from Syria-loved the guy. He was pretty reasonable and did what needed to be done. Here back in the States, they want you to do crowns because you may have a problem some time in the future. If I had to pay out of pocket, I would never get my dental work done in the US.

I had a very competent Egyptian dentist in Hafr Al Batin and a competent (if rather surly) Indian in Jeddah. Many years ago I had a Syrian dentist too ! He spoke no English and at that time I had almost zero Arabic. We managed !

Heck, go to a veterinarian - they're used to treating patients they can't communicate with. Very Happy

Regards,
