Ok, so I am not going to say that taking care of your child’s oral health is easy. Yeah, just take away sweets or something. So, that’s not what I am going to say. It is regarding “dental braces.” Maybe this may not be applicable for all children but, some specific homo sapiens whose teeth are as magnificent as the leaning tower of Pisa.

First of all, why is oral health so important?

The thing is most people don’t know that their teeth are being noticed. WELL, you may ask, how do you know? Oh, yes folks it’s a thing called experience. This is an anecdote of the very first time “I” started wearing dental braces. I came back to school after the summer holidays, wearing dental braces. I walked in and walked by corridors and until then I never knew how much my teeth were being noticed. The first person asked about it. So, an optimistic person I was said; “Yeah, it is supposed to make my teeth look much more normal and ….yeah like that.” Many, people asked and until then I never knew my teeth were so much noticed.

Back to the main point, oral health is important. Many parents are trying to give the very best of everything and I am going to help them. Yep, I am no dentist, but here’s a piece of advice.

Parents, When you get your children dental braces don’t do this major mistake. Many of the people reading this are expats, so this is major applicable for you. The majority of the parents do this, go to India get dental braces, and pay a ridiculously huge sum of money thinking it is cheap. Come back to Kuwait, and set up an appointment with a dentist whose job would be tightening? For decades, this seems to be right but, it is wrong. Why it is the dentists in Kuwait who will suffer. How? To understand this I asked my dentist the one who is supposed to do the tightening job, the same and he replied. “If you are getting braces in India and doing the follow-up in Kuwait then, the dentists in India will get the full package price, and here the dentist who is doing the hard work wouldn’t. Secondly, many of them don’t bring the models of their teeth and necessary documents, so it becomes harder to understand the structure and act accordingly. Thirdly, each dentist may have his or her style in fixing the problems. One dentist may pull 4 teeth to clear the space but, in the end, it is the other doctor who is going to go wild on how to close the gaping gap.”

So, parents if you want your children to have the best then, it is worth it to get a 1000Kd package rather than be cheated. It saves everyone a lot of hassle. Also, if you repeat this mistake you may get rigged and also Hope the message is clear.
