the dentist office (Kepong shoplots around housing area) I went to has a piece of price list (price range) of different procedures. I remembered the price is RM80-130 for scaling depending on dirt accumulation. I guess mine was quite clean they charged me RM80 only. But the detist found a small hole in the wisdom tooth and need tampal-tampal, total charge RM160.

Same to me. Imprerial dental. The dentists are relatively inexperience. The experienced doctors, namely, dr how and may be his wife, will walk around visiting each room to check on the inexperience doctors making sure that everything is in order. No joke. I felt like a test subject. The nurses and doctors were quarrelling. My first set of crowns were wrongly molded. Then they ordered the second set for me, against not perfectly fit. Then many excuses were given. At the end, my problem is not resolved and money wasted. Extremely expensive. Good luck with this clinic.

Ya, it gives me the same feeling - expensive n the dentist im seeing now (Dr How Assistant) give me the impression of no confidence, uncertainty from the way she communicated to me. Im seeing her now bcos of my gum infection wt pus, done root canaling, finished the antibiotic, some medicine to aplply n have to go thru laser treatment for several times in this few months but still haven't subsided.

Im wondering is she experience enuff or just a money minded clinic???? Feel like looking for another dentist but I dun know which one is good dentist. My gum infection really give me enuff problem.

Just remember this golden truth: The health industry is a for-profit industry. If nobody gets sick, the doctors/dentists/specialists would go broke and become social pariah. It is within their best interest to suggest you a 'solution' that is bad enough to deteriorate your health slowly in the long term but not too bad that it kills you right away, so that you may spend money continuously at medical centers for treatments. Natural treatments that work are almost free and these medical people would not allow it to be known.

Then how?! Avoid drinking even boiled tap water?

If you want to keep a healthy teeth, then avoid drinking or brushing teeth with toothpaste containing fluoride.

Regardless of what the doctors/dentists say, fluoride corrodes the teeth and make them brittle.
Fluoride is an industrial waste that is too expensive and destructive to be disposed, so is included into our water system and make us the dump site.
No surprise there will be dentists that will argue that fluoride is beneficial, but bear in mind fluoride is one of the most toxic thing beside arsenic and mercury and is used as rat poison. Dentists will say fluoride is different from industrial waste. They are lying. Research it at Youtube and learn from those without vested financial interest.

Yeah, research it on youtube, seems legit, google scholar and all the thesis is there for a reason

dentist can charge any amount according to their expertise and experience and location of business as long as following the scale recommended by MDA. pls note, it is recommended and not compulsory, every case even for scaling etc may be somewhat diff.

if u are not happy with the treatment or charges , u can always make a complaint to Malaysian dental council, no one else can tell u what ur dentist did or charged is right or wrong. Otherwise, change ur dentist.

On fluoride debate, upto u, if you decided to use toothpaste without fluoride, there is very limited choices in the market. too much of anything is toxic, medicine is also poison if consumed in higher dose than therapeutic dose. Fluoride in toothpaste is for external use aka for brushing only, if u swallow everytime u brush, consequences is on u but not blame the toothpaste w fluoride.

All that fluoride shit is just that.. garbage. There may be some circumstantial link to it but it is a small risk. Like worrying on getting skin cancer from working under fluorescence light because fluorescence lighting have UV, and UV causes skin cancer. Are you going to start applying sun screen before going to your office desk?

Just make sure you cover your basics. Make sure you brush your teeth and floss daily. If you drink a lot of sweet stuff (coffee or tea with sugar, Cola) or snack a lot, at least gargle with water.
Also make sure you get a balance diet with enough calcium.

2x yearly check with a good dentist. Find someone you're comfortable. He/SHe should be able to answer your question. If LCLY with you, fark them and get another dentist.
