Twenty-seven years for me mate, and I'd promised the wife I'd go when I was 60, that's now suddenly next year, and I'm dreading it. At least here in Thailand, the prices are possibly a bit lower but even so, I know I'm going to need serious work despite my religious 5 minutes brushing, twice a day!

Moral of the story? Don't go to the dentist until you're old and can afford it, kids!

Great post and great community, I wish you, it, and your teeth, every success :-)
