Re: The Tooth Hurts: Beijing's Best Dental Clinics
The problem with dentists in Beijing is that the places are usually dirty. Added to that the overcharging of patients especially if you are foreign makes people not want to go to the dentist here, many would rather hop on a plane and get their dental work done elsewhere. If someone in his daily life has poor hygiene can you trust them their teeth or anything else for that matter? I think not.

Re: The Tooth Hurts: Beijing's Best Dental Clinics
Agreed with cleanliness. I had one scary experience where dentist had to use one use sterile prepackaged 'all-in-one' kits as the entire clinic was never cleaned. he used his left pinkie to operate the switches.
Also the dentists are CLUELESS about preventative or diagnostic practices. They basically expect you to know which tooth has a problem and know what operation you want. Otherwise they just say 'we can do this - from 80 to 2800 RMB', your choice, your problem. They are not professional enough to use the best treatment that is most cost effective, nor well trained enough to be able to diagnose potential conditions and suggest appropriate remedial action.
I don't think the SOS or Beijing United offer better service (although they look cleaner) - they just ask for even more money!

My vote goes to IDC, came widely recommended and they did a sterling job when my front tooth was sliced in half by a football stud - now it looks like new - and for a very reasonable price.
