Ok, you have been on holiday a couple of days, you may have escaped the 'lobster look' but does the prospect of another 12 days or longer sunbathing sound appealing? Ok the answer is probably YES: the golden tan is the westerner's God, especially for the 50+ generation who remember the glorious British Summer of 76, well what about doing something to enhance the healthy tanned Hollywood look or if you overdo it the healthy Bollywood look without losing the rays?
Now you are probably interested............
What I am going to suggest may send some of you to the bar or bed or your mother's lap screaming......what about a trip to the dentist ! Please note the smaller font size to reduce any possible sudden anxiety attack.
Yes the DENTIST!
Why oh why oh why would I suggest a trip to the dentist? Well its good for you, let me explain:
- ECONOMICALLY. I know people who come to India once a year just to get their dental work done. The money they save pays for their flight! That might sound as if the quality is poor, it's not, depends where you go but you get the idea.....
- Going to the Dentist will cure any feeling of home sickness.........after all, aren't all the dentists back in the UK from India? Except here they drive an Activa rather than a Mercedes.
- All treatments can be done; they will work around you and your flight / travel not you having to work round them!
- YOU CAN GET YOUR TEETH WHITENED! Most offer a range of 'brightness' from the ‘healthy’ to the full ‘razzle dazzle’ it’s your choice. Just one word of warning, if you go for the full ‘razzle dazzle’ then if you are out at night avoid smiling at oncoming vehicles.....
So now you need to know which Dentist. In the Palolem area we have three excellent dentists, one is in Chaudi, so you would need to get an auto, but it’s only a couple of km or so. The second is Dr Mayur, just before the Bus Station, a good guy who does a lot of work for the local community for free. The third is right in the middle of Palolem, Dr Rosemond, known locally as the ‘humming dentist’ not because of any personal hygiene problem; it’s just that he tends to hum when working. It would be nice to think he did it to put patients at ease, but I just think he loves his job!
Btw Dental Surgeries tend to be quite small here not like the sprawling Victorian monstrocities they have in the UK.
OK, I am getting bored now…….so if you have decided not to get your teeth checked you will regret it later. If you have decided not to get the ‘razzle dazzle’ then avoid too many curries……you don’t want matching ‘tan’ and ‘teeth’ …..not a good look! Remember Dr Rosemond can help you avoid the ‘lobster look’ but only if you did not arrive in Goa with it, for that problem you will have to see my next blog!
Keep smiling.
