Extraction of Wisdom Tooth
16th April 2007 (Monday)
Finally, i managed to survive till today... Went to consult a dentist in Tampines Central "Lee & Lee Dental Surgeon Pte Ltd" Waited for almost an hour before its my turn, never expected to have to wait for so long to see a dentist, it was really a big surprise to see a crowd in the clinic -.- Never ever that i imagine that it could be so crowded in a dental clinic, there are about 4-5 consultation rooms there and all are fully occupied!!

Any way, when it was my turn, i went into the consultion room.... It always makes me nervous whenever i visit a dentist, probably this is what i call dentist-phobia =D The doctor attending to me is Dr Chua, quite a young chap, initially was thinking if he's capable enough for the job? -.- After awhile, found out that he is in fact very experienced and very attentive too =P He kept probing me if i got questions and explaining the whole problem to me etc.... And during the whole operation, he kept talking to me, trying to calm me down, knowing that im all tensed up =P

After the Op, i was asked to wait outside to fill up the form so that i can claim from my Medisave. When being asked for the payment, i got a shock of my life!!! $724.50!!! WTF, the information i got was like about $100+ per tooth. No choice gotta pay 1st and wait for the Medisave claim ba.... Before i leave, a nurse came running out saying that the doctor would like to see me again?!?! I was like "Huh" Any way, went in to see him again, he told me that he just wanted to make sure that my wound has stopped bleeding and to change the gauze for me. Im really paying for the service -.- And i will be back to the clinic on 25th April 2007 to remove the stitches. Dunno how much will it cost this time =(
