[Condition: Dental Caries] I previously visited a local private hospital where I was told that ten teeth required fillings. Later, after moving for my studies, I visited Guanghua School of Stomatology. After an examination, the dentist informed me that there weren't that many cavities and only treated the teeth that truly required fillings. The treatment process was very meticulous, and the results have been excellent. This is a very ethical hospital with highly professional doctors.
