there, xrays were only 250,000 but if you have your own good to take over, as long as they arent any more than six months old. Root canals can be anything from 1,500,000 up depending on the type of work that needs to be done. I know there were many people commenting on how quickly the work gets done over there, saying you cant really do that type of work so quickly but, I had a porcelain crown made and done in a week and I am more than happy with it and overall it cost me 1,500,000. Sooo cheap, like I said they wear thongs (and who doesnt in Bali) and they may only wear one glove, but if you are concerned, ask them to wear two, I wasnt concerned and I came out the other end alright. Also just ask if they use autoclaves for their instruments, rather than the boiling technique. So a dentist has recently told me. Still I would say no worries and the money you save, WILL definitely pay for your holidays no worries about that.
