Have to totally agree with Carol on this! Even those of us who are very good about having regular dental check-ups can have an abscessed tooth or another unexpected dental emergercy ... where immediate help from a dentist would be most welcomed.

As Time Goes By .... Having a dentist on call on a cruise ship has become much more important to us than having an Aqua Park, Ice Skating Rink, etc.
