debbieamorenoOK, so I did not expect to need a dentist so soon after arriving in Spain. During our adventure to southern Spain, my face started swelling. Of course, I figured if I ignored it, it would go away… hahaha, fat chance. We tried to go to the pharmacy to get some antibiotics and were told I needed to see a dentist first. Lucky me… there was a dentist just one block from the hotel we were staying at – Ugh! I truly did not know what to expect and was prepared for the worst.
With my trusty translator at my side, I went in seeking help. First, we were handed an iPad and asked to answer a series of questions about what was going on. Once we finished, were taken to the back for x-rays. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! They had all the latest technology – the place was amazing, and the staff were very friendly. I was told that I had a cracked tooth, and it was infected. They gave me a prescription for antibiotics and told me I needed to take care of it when I got home. When we got back home, I made an appointment with a local dentist and again, all the latest technologies and super nice staff. I now have 1 less tooth and am very confident that going forward they will take very good care of me. Oh, and by the way, the cost was a fraction of what it would be in the US.
