Aren't the fees cheaper for PIOs? Same as Indian citizens?

Goandentist · Oct 5th, 2005, 08:42

Yes I am sure the rate will the same for Persons of Indian Origin as well (PIO's). Do mail the universities and see what they have to say.

Hi IM'ers,

I seek you support in helping a British Charity , Children Walking Tall carrying out work in the Slums of Goa. They are coming out with a raffle and our surgery has sponsored the prizes to the value of 500 pounds.

Its for a worthy cause and we hope to raise at least Rs 50,000 /- towards their educational project . The goal of the charity is to provide food, shelter and education for street children in India.

Please visit this webpage to see more details , and do buy a ticket or two when in Goa for this worthy cause.

hi as i`m petrified of going to the dentist can you tell me about the whitening laser treatment and does it hurt. i really am very nervous of the dentist but would like this done . what is the procedure for this treatment

Goandentist · Oct 27th, 2005, 12:36

Hi Jan,

Whitening is a perfectly safe procedure, with absolutely no pain. You sit back relax, listen to some music or watch TV, while the dentist goes about whitening your teeth with a laser. It does not hurt the teeth but removes a smear layer from the surface of the tooth. The whitening gels range from 15% hygrogen peroxide in Brite Smile whitening to 38% in laser whitening.

The laser light breaksdown the O2 in H2O2 and thats what actually whitens your teeth. The more the light the better the whitening.

Regards
