It has been around two years since last dentist visit. In Finland it is rather easy and cheap for university students but now I am in Hungary and working. Based on my previous troublesome experiences with public health care I decided to try out private sector. I have a some kind of health fund from my work place and I have not used it too much previously so paying it myself was not an issue.

I checked some links from my health fund's website and I picked one. They have English speaking dentist and they returned to my contact inquiry swiftly. So, today I had my appointment and it went quite smooth. The place was clean and staff was friendly. Luckily I did not have any serious problems - at least they did not find any - and the only operation was cleaning after inspection.

How much? 12 000 HUF / around 50 EUR. But it goes from my health fund which is otherwise tricky to utilize so I do not mind. With right kind of paper from a doctor one could buy various things like sun glasses or monthly cards for sports facilities. I guess I have to do another visit to public doctor one day.
