    My tip for my dentist is to quit torturing me with the pointy objects in my mouth after his tech has scraped my teeth with pointy objects. By that time I just want to leave. I pay them enough since I have crappy insurance and crappy teeth thanks to genetics anyway.

    what the heck! why would you tip the dentist? would you tip your gynecologist too? :huh: :noway:
    actually, I think it is illegal to tip someone in the medical profession.

    umm not in my country
    What country is this?
    Wait, Romania? Pretty sure my Romanian friend tipped her doctors for better service.
    Where are you?

    I can confirm. I am Romania

    It's Nutellabrah's sister :wink:

    Ah, makes sense now. Yes, I have heard it before.
    Did not mean to make fun, my apologies.
    Thought you were trolling, honestly.
    Yes.. Very messed up.. She usually tips them 30% and gets pretty good service. Hope that helps <3.

    I thought that Romania has a similar system to the UK NHS with healthcare provision?

    In which case if you aren't a private patient there will be a set charge for treatments if you are over 18 & employed. I know that Romania does still have an "under the table" payment system for services which are in fact free. I can only assume that is to get quicker or preferential treatments?

    You do not tip healthcare professionals. They are unable to accept gifts of any kind.

    Best of luck, Comet! :flowerforyou:

    Maybe in whatever country you live in.

    I've decided on a new career path... Romanian Dentist...

    I don't know how to say this without sounding rude, however, I am sincere when I ask this... Would it be cheaper or feasible to go to a dentist in a nearby country that doesn't require bribing your medical professionals?
