A trip to the dentist in Japan.

[@urm786]

Mate you're so underrated, your videos are just quality, I don't feel a hint of boredom when I watch your travel videos everything seems natural and editing is top notch. This intro rocks. Cheers

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you so much! I feel cringey about 80% of the time so this is really nice to hear!

[@starswater]

I love Japan house tour videos, so I'm on board with that. It's always good to know what the state of doctors and such are in different countries, so thanks for this.

[@justincourt6369]

Fun fact: There are more dental offices than convenience stores in Japan. Dentists are facing a serious competition.

[@TheStartandTheBean]

As a person who loves to know about good dentistry, this helps! Definitely make the videos you want becuase you have a great style to your content that is really nice to watch. I really enjoy learning about the other bits of Japan, I have seen a million Pokemon centre videos so anything thats a bit more normal or real is enjoyable.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ooo that’s actually a good point. I guess there’s a lot of videos portraying the “crazy/weird” Japan that’s so popular but not too much of the regular life kinda things. Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!

[@K1rmcc]

You are without a doubt one of the cutest most energetic KZbinr out there, your videos really brighten my day thank you.

[@linnyunt]

I agree on the great dentists in Japan. I keep going to my English speaking clinic in Kyoto even though I now live in Osaka because it's AMAZING. And like you said, they're so much cheaper than Australia. My cleaning and check-up last weekend was ¥3200 and would've cost over $100 in Oz.

[@nooroullail1]

It cost maybe around S$200 plus in Singapore😪😪

[@dededengo32]

The fee of 5500 yen in the receipt is the total amount you pay after the national health insurance coverage. Under NHI, you pay between 10% to 30% of total fee depending on your income, age and whatsnot. NHI is the national insurance self employed and unemployed people must have. if you don't have any income you have to apply for the exemption at your local city office. If you are going to a clinics, dentist for the first time, you pay the first timer fee... generally around 1400 yen on top of your medical fees. she paid only 400 yen because she has a private insurance and NHI...

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ohhhh thank you for the clarification!

[@JamConcerned]

If you rinse with warm water and salt frequently it heals fast and you don't feel the whole. If you could share what you are doing work wise. I enjoyed your video on your shows and your performances.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

The thing that bothers me most about an extraction, is they tell you not to smoke or spit for several days afterward, on pain of getting a "dry socket", which is purported to be massively unpleasant. They tell you this, but they always numb your mouth, for obvious reasons, and so you spend the next several hours drooling horribly, your mouth constantly filling up with saliva lightly tinged with blood, which tastes unpleasant and so you constantly want to spit it out, but you're not allowed to spit, but if you don't either spit or swallow every few seconds, your mouth is going to be completely full of this dreck, and you don't want to swallow it... The difficulty of getting a wisdom tooth (or a molar in general) removed varies tremendously from tooth to tooth. I've had three such extractions. Two of them (the first and the third IIRC) went very smoothly: numb, wiggle, wiggle, twist, twist, pull, twist, twist, pull, done in something like thirty seconds once the actual procedure started (not counting time waiting for the anesthetic to take effect, obviously). The other one, however, was rather more of a hassle: after ten minutes of the dentist putting so much pressure on the tooth that I am pretty sure my jawbone must have been visibly bending, the tooth finally broke... leaving part of the root still stuck in the socket. He did eventually get it out, but the whole process was much more protracted than the other two, in a way that likely would have been somewhat unnerving for anyone who is timid about dental work. Same dentist, and he wasn't doing anything wrong, the tooth was just really stuck in there, probably due to the shape of the root or something. Instead of a normal Tokyo apartment tour, get a cappuseruhoteru bed for an hour or so and do a spoof Tokyo apartment tour, under the pretense that the drawer/shelf is your apartment.

[@asilentkoala]

Your Back To The Future costume was so creative and funny! You make great videos Hannah. I love how you capture dynamic aspects of living in Japan and covering various topics to prepare those who want to visit. Keep up the amazing work & RIP wisdom tooth.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks so much! I’m glad people are still getting enjoyment out of them! RIP indeed.

[@wrxsti_dylan]

I honestly look forward to every single video, Hannah. Keep at it mate!

[@hayek218]

The national insurance is like Medicare in Australia and if you are the person paying the premium the you’d be charged 30% so the 5000 yen something is the 30% of the total cost which is about 16000 yen in this case. Your personal insurance paid that 5000 yen.

[@TokyoLens]

LOL that opening scene though... (>_

[@peoplearepeople9256]

I was hoping you would do a video similar to like this one and bang you did it. I am quite interested to know being a foreigner living in Japan, how life is like (or was like when your japanese wasn't as good then) when it comes to your day to day living activities, things like going to the bank opening an account, getting a haircut, being sick going to the doctor, finding a place to stay...etc. I don't think you had too many issues when you were working in Singapore as they speak reasonable English there but it might not be the same in Japan. Please consider the above if you are gonna do a Q/A in future. Thank you.

[@UncertainAdventures]

I had to have a wisdom tooth pulled while I was in China, They barely gave me an local anesthesia so I felt it a lot and the dentist kept stopping. Finally I told him to just yank it out don't stop. Turns out it had a curled root that kept hanging on.

[@FransceneJK98]

Shitttt sounds like a nightmare!!!! And China too!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ you poor thing

[@sophi2121]

Hi can you tell me the dentist link I wanna go

[@FransceneJK98]

Is it worth getting Invisalign in japan? I read that it’s like ¥100,000 which is more than double the price in the US

[@arnoc.2107]

I got my wisdom teeth removed here in Germany and it took 45min, altough I got all 4 removed, and it wasn't a particularly smooth experience :D I had to keep my mouth open to the max for the entire duration, which was really hard and exhausting. And I was constantly swallowing blood.

[@cakeswithfaces]

I had to go to hospital & have general anaesthetic when I had mine out in the UK!! It was for all 4 wisdom teeth but still..

[@masa_ch_]

Dogen ‘s videos are sooo goood

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I'm obsessed with them!

[@lycheer0x]

Yes!! Apartment tourrr :))

[@lapislazuli1012]

A Japanese medical free ride is Japanese social problem now. Chinese pool a Japanese insurance certificate, aren't paying the bill and are running away in particular. Medical treatment is managed by a Japanese tax, so I don't want you to recommend so much.

[@ThePillowGrabber]

Hey, Hannah! I'm really glad you had a good experience overall! Which dentist/place did you go to?

[@kaidiau]

The word you were looking for was “co-pay”. So during the 3rd and 4th day you will experience a lot more pain and it’s normal, but by 6-7th day you should be pain free. Just keep the area clean and don’t disrupt the blood clot and no drinking through straw. Hope ya heal soon and definitely more medical related, it’s cool to learn

[@bellalantis41]

please please do a room tour! Also if you could talk about the furniture in your apartment like if it came with it or not, and if it didnt where you bought it. Also, how you save room by the bed size you have or having a sofa bed for a guest. Trying to figure out how to make the most out of my small space! Also if you could show where you buy your non japanese groceries. Im an american moving and so worried about the food situation since i am a very picky eater. Thank you! I love your vids!

[@RaniaSd]

A room tour would be so great ! waiting for it ! Love ya ♥

[@DayMiiGa]

I had one of my wisdom teeth removed in 5 seconds. It was already coming out so it was fairly easy to get to it, but I went to the hospital to get this one taken out and you know how you usually have to wait for the anesthetic to start working when you go see a regular dentist? Nope, none of that. The needle went in, I felt it numbing instantly and then the doctor took it out. I wasn't sure whether to be really happy that it was so short, or to feel slightly traumatized. xD

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh wow! I would’ve been so scared!

[@Gantorin]

I got my wisdom teeth out, and after that... I never played sax to the level I got to again. I was top of my school for three years.

[@NicolaOgdenMusic]

I legit got my wisdom tooth out 2 days ago. Oh my goodness, it was the most painful thing ever!!! I actually started to tear up and I'm not someone who cries at pain easily. I can't tell you how glad I am that I only have one wisdom tooth!! Maybe I should go to Japan for my next dental appointment. Probably would be cheaper than here in Australia (even with flights and accomodation inculded), quicker and less painful. Ahh...😟

[@徳田新之助-z9s]

抜歯の値段は歯の状態によって変わるから参考程度 ハンナさんは国保に加入できる条件を満たしているからその値段だけど、旅行者の滞在期間じゃ加入できない 全額負担でも設備や衛生面も含めた価値は日本の方が少し安いかもね

[@melissaxu2]

I got my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday. I’m a chipmunk. It cost me $1900 AUD to remove 4 wisdom teeth (no insurance)

[@meowrice]

is it ok to ask where this dentist place is?

[@anana3322]

Yes, roomtour please! Love your videos!

[@lizawithaz9524]

Wow, dentistry is so cheap compared to Australia. I've heard Optometry is cheaper there too.

[@KeiraAshley]

I had a friend from Aus come to the dentist whilst holidaying here in Tokyo just because it is soooo much cheaper than back home!

[@KeiraAshley]

Also which dentist did you go to? Mine won't take out my wisdom teeth...

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh wow! Haha I didn’t realise it would still be as cheap for those on a tourist visa! I went to one near Shin Urayasu. Pretty far away from the city haha

[@hiroshihasegawa8453]

It's a freeride to the Japanese national insurance. Its already almost at the verge of collapse just to cover the way too many native elders. in addition what happens if foreigners join it. DO NOT DO IT.

[@kyoung5600]

The dentist in Japan is so good. I think i should fly to Japan and have a good vacation first and also have my wisdom tooth pulled, in the United States dentist are expensive, about $350 per tooth if you don't have insurance.

[@rodyinjapan]

I just got back from dentist 😊

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Do you feel rejuvenated and fresh?

[@rodyinjapan]

Currently Hannah yes 😁

[@Mwoods2272]

I guess we know what time you were filming this video by the chimes in the backround.

[@prisjonesss]

That intro

[@allaboutthegyro]

Wow that dental office looks way too relaxing!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

It was basically a day spa.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Only cheaper.

[@charlottescott684]

What do you do for work ?

[@punz5214]

Does it hurt ? :'(

[@Labradorite_Honu]

Just had teeth extracted myself. Feeling lots of empathy. If you're like me you're going to be sore for a few days. Be gentle to yourself!

[@heidiyousuf2789]

50$ in Japan? In America it prob be like 4000$ I could be wrong but America is on some bullshit

[@あいちゃん5510]

ちょいちょい日本語出ちゃうのかわいい😊 いつも楽しくみてます！ 歯だいじょうぶですか？ おだいじにしてくださいね🙇

[@meganh7526]

Lucky that you only had to have one removed! I had to get 4 out (2 impacted!) but they gave me IV anesthesia which was just the best. Hopefully you won’t be flushing out gunk from your tooth hole for the next year like I was, heh. Also really digging the new intro. And as someone who previously requested the apartment tour... do it! Your space seems awesome so there’s value other than clickbait!

[@boogywumpy]

More random videos like this please😂😂😂

[@kyoung5600]

Like that beautiful looking blouse that you're wearing in black, did you bought it in Japan?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

No I bought it in Singapore actually!

[@babygreenleaf4294]

What is her job?

[@janinemuller9792]

I love ur videos i watch everything you post i love your content

[@byfagy]

Have you ever have a cavity?

[@incyphe]

it's ok, the dentist made more than $60. A good guess is, multiply what you paid times 3.3. That's how much he made, which is still cheap considering everything done to you.

[@AwkwardFX]

What does she work as in Japan?

[@allarforheisman]

I don’t understand, why do a lot of Australians love the culture of Japan and Japanese language? Cuz, my Japanese teacher is from Australia.

[@ymlog6741]

Currently Yoshi is?

[@mikeh8334]

Yep, opening scene and every nuance most likely everything you did reminded me when i had two bottom ones taken out =j i have a small mouth and they had to carve some jawbone out to get it out...sad thing is that they kept the teeth, didn't even ask just saying it was so that they could study it. Only teeth i didn't take out myself =o

[@melissaxu2]

You don’t swell until the 2nd/3rd day

[@MateoQuixote]

What's your job in Japan?

[@Tyler380]

Maybe an in-depth video update on why you are there, how long you will be there and what you do for work now and do you like it? I remember your parents. Do you live near them? Stuff like that.. Just food for thought Hannah...

[@alise2766]

thank you for making this video! have four wisdom teeth that are bothering me and i will be going to japan soon! Also America doesn't really have the best dental insurance so i haven't been able to get my wisdom teeth taken out :0 hopefully I can get them out in japan.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

If you’re living here and have national health insurance then yes it’ll be cheap but it mayyyy be different without. Sorry I can’t give exact details though.

[@justjess882]

hahahah!! 8:46 was my favourite part of the whole video

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Haha yeah me too. Nothing beats VHS.

[@kaisermuto]

If you don't have national health insurerance of Japan, you must pay whole treatment costs.

[@akasha6536]

I am terrified of dentists 😨

[@edwardjohnhilvano771]

Hannah i was wondering what did you pull out of your mouth on the beginning part of the video hehehe. It seems that you are forgetting some words you want to say, may be because you pull out your "wisdom" tooth hehehe.

[@edwardjohnhilvano771]

Hahaha i see!, Get yourself a good rest and don't make any heavy work, take care :)

[@shzawn89]

Why is it half way through this video I get an ad for an orthodontist for the first time ever.. shhhh they are listening

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hello? FBI?

[@adamblacktopp2107]

Sorelle Amore's latest video. Just chill, your content is great, just keep being you. 😀

[@YumoYori]

OMG I'm so scared to get my wisdom teeth out! I have to get all four out AHHHHH. I need to find a good dentist for mine ahh. (times to go to Japan LMFAOO)

[@whyisthisathingnow...]

Yumo Fitness good luck haha! I had all 4 out at once...was quite the experience

[@melissaxu2]

I got all four out on Tuesday and honestly is the most painless thing. Like legitimately I’m still not in any pain 3 days later

[@ralphraffles1394]

Had four removed in hospital in London. Came round from anaesthetic and next morning awoke to cooked breakfast. Lol.

[@shunnylee]

how about interviews with some locals? would that even be appropriate in japan? ask them what they think of tourists? ask them do they think its weird when they're overseas & there's hardly any vending machines haha ask them if they like holidaying in Australia?

[@fo4urm640]

Random Idea: I wanna see a timelapse of you roller skating through Tokyo for a few hours.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Hahaha step one: learn to rollerblade

[@fo4urm640]

Haha, might be quite funny seeing you wobble a lot throughout, stop for snacks & what nots :D

[@kimiakiooyama6149]

Nice hair cut, I like.

[@swkit]

Take care of Yourself. Don't drink beer tonight.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I’ll resist the urge

[@nekoneko2025]

国民健康保険は年間最大600,000円の保険料支払いが必要、会社員なら半額負担。別に安くない。

[@wehanvanzyl621]

Whaaat!? You are not allowed to flip burgers at the MOS with a swollen face!? ;) I like this sort of content, the monologue (sort of) videos give us an idea of your personality and opinions. And if you want to do a tour of the apartment, why not combine it with something else? Maybe a short Q&A or something similar to this one. I'm sure everyone would enjoy an apartment tour!

[@ajulianto2215]

Hahaha weirdly entertaining video 😄

[@burningsoutherncross3146]

良かったですね。

[@ahmadahmadi3755]

You're so pretty

[@OvidiuAndreiMovila]

[@shanwaliullah7350]

Hey Hannah!! Such a fan of ur work, and its because of u i started to vlog! After I saw ur Singapore video i knew I needed to start vloging. If u have time it would be so nice if u checked my first video. Is in swedish though haha, lots of Love from Sweden🇸🇪

[@gagashan]

[@hiroshihasegawa8453]

You freerided the Japanese national insurance.

[@mFujiyama]

Lol that was the most awkward intro I've ever seen. Do you mind if I buy your tooth? JK, just trolling. I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Nice intro

[@ntworks24_magic85]

Hello nice meet to you Where are you live in？I'm live in japan You are pretty it's cute ❤

[@jimfoo8155]

You are more self conscious because you afraid you might say something wrong and offend people maybe? Anyway good to know that foreigners are also covered by Japan's social welfare insurance.

[@jefrichan]

That's freaking cheap!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah right? I couldn’t believe it!

[@boogywumpy]

I had 4 tooth extracted all at once.This was done in Singapore!I was scared(obviously who wouldnt)? I closed my eyes...i couldnt rmbr how long it took i open my eyes and my dentist said done.Im like...wait,thats it? I dont feel anything OTHER than the fact that my mouth is bleeding😂 but dentists in Singapore are awesome!
