Dental Announcement

The latest announcement from the belediye said there was a free dental screening at the town square at 8:30 PM.  All are welcome.  What serendipity.  Only Amanda has dental insurance.  The last time we were in Turkey, we took Kubi to a dentist in Izmir who was a friend of Nev's nephew.  This time we were planning to take Kubi to a dentist in Akbük because it is so much cheaper than back home.   So we took the kids and walked down there to check it out. 

A dentist from the neighboring town of Didim and his assistant had a table set up next to the Arts Building.  We got there around 9:15PM, so it wasn't crowded.  Each of us took our turn sitting on a chair while the handsome young dentist examined our teeth and everyone else watched.  He then told Nev what he saw from our teeth and Nev translated.  As we suspected, Kubi needed a thorough dental cleansing.  The rest of us were fine.  The dentist asked Nev where he had his fillings done.  Nev told him his dental work had been done in America and the dentist said it was very good work.

The dentist has a deal with the mayor of Akbük.  He will give a huge discount (up to 50% off) to all Akbük residents who go to him in Didim for their dental work.  Nev asked if we have to make an appointment.  He said no.  Just say we are from Akbük and we will be put to the front of the line.  Wow!  I feel important now.
