007: Meet Dr. Tanawat Ritkajorn, a prosthodontist in Bangkok, Thailand. In addition to cleaning teeth, he helps people optimize their smile. Under a government sponsored program, a large part (almost 90%) of his education was subsidized. In return, graduates of dental school spend up to 3 years practicing in rural areas at a reduced salary. In the capital, however, an average monthly salary for a prosthodontist can range from 100,000 to 400,000 baht ($3,000 – $12,000) depending on experience and education.
