A week ago I was enjoying a cold draft beer in Dubai when I bit into a popcorn kernel and cracked a tooth. Given the option of going to a random dentist in Dubai or Saudi Arabia, I opted to wait a few extra days until I returned to Kuwait to see the dentist.
My experience was dead on accurate to what I've generally heard about healthcare. The facility was somewhat disorganized, and completely lacked proper signage. I asked someone where the dental clinic was and they sent me to the 2nd floor. From there I was sent back to the 1st floor to register. I filled out a basic form (name, address, phone #) and was sent back upstairs.
The equipment in the center was top rate. I had a digital x-ray taken (2KD = $7.20), single tooth anesthesia which was absolutely painless, and a metal filling replaced with a composite one (50KD = $180.00). In addition to the dentist, there were two assistants in the room.
