Let's Sedate the Dentist!

The drug LSD makes colours more intense, rainbows may appear and shapes may become fluid in form....


In April 1965, George Harrison and John Lennon (half The Beatles) and their wives spent a nice evening with George's dentist. The cosmetic dentist slipped LSD into their coffees and therefore can be held partly responsible for the success of the song 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'.

Despite the success of that song, Cynthia Lennon still has not forgiven him. "When you go for dinner with your dentist, you don't imagine a professional man would do something like that," she says. I guess she would still gladly return the favour.

Dental tourism opens the gate to options one could never afford in one's home country. On request, we use TIVA - Total Intravenous Anaesthesia. It is a newer anaesthetic technique, very well suited to small to medium sized dental operations. It provides comfortable sleep without many of the unpleasant side effects of a full, traditional general anaesthetics. There is minimal decrease of the breathing rate and blood pressure, so patients breathe calmly and slowly on their own. No breathing tubes or ventilators are required. Afterwards, you can enjoy the rest of the (holi)day in Bulgaria. TIVA costs 450 Euro per session (not per hour).
