We stayed in Salinas for just over a week, I have been having trouble with a tooth and decided it was time to see a dentist, on line I found one about a mile walk from the dinghy dock, he was closed on Thursdays so we went early Friday and after x raying he quickly decided I had 2 options - a referral to an Endodontist for assessment and root canal treatment or he could pull the tooth out 😱. I opted for the referral so called the clinic in Ponce to make an appointment when we got back to the boat - as I have had antibiotics already they wanted to see me ASAP and suggested later that day, which wasn’t possible due to lack of transport, we opted for first thing Monday morning and arranged to use a hire care some friends had got for the week, I had part 1 of treatment I need to return to Ponce in a week for Part 2 of the treatment, interestingly the Dentist who did it what’s app messaged me at 06.50 the following 2 mornings to see how I was doing and make sure things were going well and when on the second day I said that "I was virtually pain free" he said that knowledge made his day - what a nice man and not the sort of concern I have ever felt from a dentist in the UK! I am hoping it is covered by our medical insurance as Puerto Rico is part of America and therefore not cheap!
