Shanghai dentist needed ASAP - help!
 
We are in shanghai and return to the states in several days. I'm starting to feel a toothache and am concerned about flying with an exposed nerve. If anyone know a good western style dentist in shanghai, their contact if would be greatly appreciated.

The US consulate can give you a list of English-speaking dentists.

Did you get treated and feeling Ok now?

Thank you all. I had a dentist appt scheduled for this morning (I googled western trained dentist shanghai and came up with a group), but I ended canceling it as my tooth no longer hurts. I spoke to my nephew who is a dentist in Florida and he said its possible that my toothache stemmed from sinus problems. I started today on antibiotics just in case there is an infection brewing, but I'm hoping I continue to be pain free. I think the very thought of going to an unknown dentist cured the problem!

Good to hear that, where did you get the antibiotics? Hope you stay pain free, are you enjoying your trip?

A relief! Safe travels.

Brought antibiotics from home just in case. Actually had them left over from India trip! Having a great time, although I must say this hasn't been our favorite Asia trip as it just isn't that foreign. China's growth had been amazing and it's hard to find the old china anymore.
