Recently I noticed a pimple-like abscess right above the gum of my root-canal-treated and crowned tooth. Back then this tooth surgery was done 10 years ago, in my secondary school age.

After I visited a dental clinic in Ipoh for checking, the dentist said that my previous treated root canal has infected with bacteria and it's causing the inflammation (the abscess).

He implies that no dentist in Ipoh is capable in performing the treatment (drilling the crown, cleaning the bacteria and sealing back with medicine).

And this surgery can only be done in KL and its price is RM2,000, which way too much for me to afford. Finally he recommended me to look for Dr. Saw too.

Is there any government-clinic or specialist can offer such skill and treatment in an affordable price? I really appreciate your sharing. TQ

Not sure what that is, even after looking up for this in Google, but I think is part of the treatment... Going to visit dentist 2mrw, let's see what does he say.
