Yesterday we took Christiaan to the dentist to get a cavity filled and some scaling done. It all cost us about $25... crazy cheap... The office was in a hospital and very professional. The dentist has worked in the US for 10 years as a dental assistant. So that was a successful trip and we came early enough that we were number one on the list to see her. No making appointments here!
