Dentist on board?

[PatandStu]

I thought that too. I would think a medical doctor on a ship that spends days away from any port or city would have basic dental knowledge.

My friend will be on board next week she is a Dental Hygienist. Not sure what you are looking for lol and not sure she'd want to work while on vacation.

I use to cruise with a bottle of toothache medicine and super glue (in event a crown came out. I will say that was just in case something happened but if I felt I would need a dentist I would handle that before I left.

 

 

 

I just read this never ever use Super Glue on a tooth it kills the nerve of the tooth which can cause you further problems down the road. If you have a loose crown better to carry a small tube of denture adhesive or you can buy temporary dental materials at the drug store. I'm also a Dental Hygienist.

It's a very specialized form of medical knowledge. Ships' doctors are the equivalent of ER doctors or General Practitioners. Even if they were knowledgeable they are not licensed for Dental work I expect...
