I was suffering teeth pain for 3weeks already and last monday i really not feeling well and see doctor. Doctor said that my last wisdom teeth no place to grow and i need to remove it. Or else i will always feel pain when eating.
On the same day, i decided to go for government dentist rather that dental specialist because specialist is always expensive. Therefore, i went down to macalister road clinic and only paid for RM1 visit fees. When i heard doctor NG said that i need minor operation to remove my wisdom teeth, i feel like fainting. He known i'm scare and he said don't worry, its very fast only. I had make an appointmnet with him on 16 Oct 2009 8am and the nurse remind me to take my meal before come for the appointment. From register until here, it take me only 20mins. So, we need to change our mind set to visit government hospital/clinic/dental next time.
For me, all doctors/dentist service with government are proffesional!! TRUST THEM!!!
My appointment was re-schedule 1day early. This morning before go to clinic, i was alone taking breakfast in town area. I ordered "Keoy Teow Soup" (big bowl) & "O Kuih" and make sure i'm full! When i reached clinic, i start feel scare and start praying already. After register and wait for 5mins then the nurse ask me to go for XRAY first. He told me the instruction & gave me the protector suit and put a small piece of rubber to put inside my mounth and start XRAY.
The most interesting part come... when go in the room and Doc.NG ask me lay down and open my mouth. Lucky he said that "you case is very simple, we will not operate it first and try remove it. If really cannot remove it then we only need operation". OMG.. my heart beat start beating faster and faster and the only things come on my mind is praying god.. "na mo guan shi yin pu sha....."
After that, the dentist start apply anaesthetic to my lower jaw and he shown me the XRAY photos that my new wisdom teeth growth very nice. After few second, my lower left jaw, lips & tongue had no feeling. Doc. NG start open up the tools and start removing my teeth, i start panic and i hold my both hand tightly. After few minutes pressing & pulling process, finally i heard Doc. NG said that, "Your teeth is successfully removed out, congratulation!!!" Oh thanks god!!! Doc.NG asked me do i want to keep my teeth? Of course I WANT TO KEEP IT!!! This teeth caused me unable to eat well for almost 3weeks!
This is the thing i want to share with you guys, i only paid for RM2 to remove my teeth and it took me >30mins time. If you go to private clinic, they will charge you >RM80!! If i really need operation, i have to pay RM50 here but let say you go to specialist, they will charge you RM280!!
