Opal dental clinic close to the Tentrem hotel where I stayed.

Modern facilities and the dental nurses are to die for

Hi,
Any recommendations for a good dentist, preferably around Yogyakarta area?

Thanks! - @Erik_S

Your best bet is probably google maps.

Pictures say a lot, and their reviews are commonly very helpful.

If it looks like a 1960s English NHS dentist, don't.

Eriks Dutch so that’s a non starter. I remember the bunson burner thingy next to the Dentists chair which I assume was for sterilization purposes.

If I had a milk tooth extraction my Dentist would give me a braided penny ‘medal’

That Opal clinic looks indeed very modern, and clean (on their website).

However, we have been to dentists that had a good-looking website, and great reviews on Google, but were terrible!

May give it a try next time ...

@Fred, int he Netherlands we used to have "school-dentists", where we were brought to from school, all children in one big bus ... I believe these may have been similar as what you refer to in England .... terrible experiences with these guys! 

Thanks guys!

Visits to NHS dentists were traumatic experiences that have scared me for life. I've ridden a motorcycle at 200 kph on a public road, engaged in full contact fighting against people who put their fists through concrete blocks, and jumped out of aircraft, but I shake like a bloody leaf when I visit a dentist.

My only positive experiences were with a young female dentists who always worked from above your head so she could rub her breasts on your cranium. She had quite the reputation  at school. I think she got off by watching trousers expand as she worked. None of us complained at what was clearly mild sexual abuse, but what teenage boy would?
