Q: Is it the dentists, or bad oral hygeine in general?


Not to sound rude, but a lot of people I come across lately, have a host of tooth problems: how often do people here frequent the Dentist? Is it less frequently than Western dental check-ups? I've seen it all,  from tooth discoloration, to gingivitis, bad breath, and others I don't need to mention. And do we consciously worry about dental check-ups too much in the West? I see all the dental products in the supermarkets here, I just think nobody uses any of it.

 

TLDR:    It makes first dates quicker and painless when you note some carelessness in this area.

I know this lovely lady - well educated, travelled extensively and married to a lovely educated man. We were talking about sugar canes and she commented on how her denist said they were good for the teeth so she regularly gave them to her daughter. I was shocked to learn how little they know about basic health practices and even how sugar rots teeth.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
