pls dun be fooled with 'laser' treatment... it's just to drain the pus.... nuthin more....

so the pus is on your right jaw? left on the x ray? I thought it's the other side.... the pre molar.....

The pus is on my left jaw. right on the x ray. The dentist said she putted medicine in the root canal after laser treatment. The right jaw is the broken tooth, that's another one to be solved. Can it be fixed by a post crown instead of implant???

yes, that broken tooth can be restore with a post crown.... that molar next to the broken tooth, root sealing looks shabby..... and the other obvious thing you can see on the xray would be your wisdom tooth.... you will need minor surgery to remove it.....

I wonder how much this root canal treatment cost at Imperial.... together with the 'laser' treatment.

OK, I will consult another dentist for the post crown on my right jaw whereas the one im seeing now suggested me to go for implant. I didn't know that it can be fixed by a post crown until I do some research online, roughly how much does it cost for post crown?? I still haven't done my crowning (left jaw), I will go look for other dentist.

Ya that one the dentist ask me to wait till got problem only then fix it(or shall I go fix it now??) hmmmmmmm.......n the wisdom tooth ............aiksssssssssssss , dun know laaa.


Noting is free right?? Im wondering how come the dentist didn't charge me any laser treatment but only the xray???? She said she do it for me free. Hmmm..............

$$$$ laaa. First one rm1200, 2nd one rm1000. The 'laser' treatment , she said she do it for me FOC. Hmmm.....Im wondering how come??? NOTING IS FREE, right????

You did 2 root canals there? I thought the upper left premolar only.
But RM1.2k for premolar root canal.... yummy.

Ya, 2 upper left premolar. Damn yummy! but the 'laser treatment' is free, why????

One done root filling the other one still doing 'laser' treatment. I still got crowning to do but I don't think im gonna continue wt them. The one got problem, she said even if infection is cleared, its not fit to do crowning.

But your upper left only 1 tooth was treated. Got 2 meh?
If not fit to crown, then let's hope the remaining structure can last.
But if there is not much tooth structure left for a filling to last,
and it is not fit for a crown, then why go with root canal anyway?

wow... that's really good money for the dentist....

How come no answer for the why free treatment??? Something wrong?? NOt suppose to be free, right??

Upper left jaw (right in the xray). She said from the xray, it can be seen tat the resorption of the tooth cause it not fit for crowning.

Im not sure whether to continue wt the laser treatment to drain off the pus or go for another dentist. Done four laser treatment in 3-4 months, till now I can see that my gum is not that swollen, not much pus as b4 but there's a white spot.

Means you've paid nearly 3k for the rct on that tooth?
Can pay for an endodontist to do for you already. Haha.
Can't say for sure why your 'laser' treatment was foc.
Perhaps she felt guilty for not successfully treating it.
Anyway, no big deal mah. Just masuk the insert and
'Laser' it mah.

All rm2200.00. I had enuff of this 'laser' stuff, next week will be my last visit to her n get my crowning refund. I'll get another dentist to solve this problem.

Kesihan. ..... who did it for you? Dr How's wife?

pretty?

Wah lau...... aunty liao leh.

I thought you said she just graduated?

She just graduated.... doesn't mean she's young. She studied dentistry after becoming an aunty. Haha.

No, a young lady who told me that Dr How is her Sifu.

Watsapp her this morning asked her how many times I need to go for this n my gum still got pus. She said that the infection of my tooth is quite bad when she first saw me. She is trying to keep keeping my tooth clean as I wanted to keep my tooth whereas Dr HOw told her again n again that no point to keep my tooth.

REally cant cure?????

She said even if I go elsewhere they will ask me to extract the toot n wouldn't even bother to do the root canal n told me tat if got cases of toothache don't wait too long if not its hard to save the tooth. REally cant cure???
