When dealing with dentist, you're not the one with the bargaining power.

Who knows what the dentist gonna do to your teeth and gum if he's not happy with what you pay.

yes I am... in fact, I'm a surgeon.... but I'm not telling you my location or my identity as I'm not here to fish for business.....

removed all 3 of my wisdom teeths at gov hosp, service provided was not bad at all..and the 4th teeth schedule to remove by next week... total cost rm220 for all 4 teeths.. all grown horizontally..

Does it involve surgery? One of my wisdom tooth is horizontal

Another one is protruding outside the rwo

My friend who is a dentist told me that he met someone with horizontally inverted wisdom tooth

yup.. all involved surgeries inc the upcoming one.. that's why they set an appointment, there will be senior dentist to monitor all surgeries

The surgery is done with you fully awake?

yup, awake and fully aware.. but painless

there is funny moment during my second surgery where the dentist was a female dentist, sweet and quite petite... and she didn't have enough strength to pull out the tooth, i feel sorry for her.. she keep tried and tried but still failed, then the senior dentist came in, with one single pull then it was over.. lol, pity her

I bet she's already loosen it that's why the senior doc could pull off easily.

my case is like tat, i ed growed 4 wisdom teeths but all 4 also half half. Just 2 days ago me left side botom, start feeling some pain, then more n more pain, n now looks bengkak n pain when i sallow. But Its ed grow half, now got pain n bengkak is that normal? can take panadol to kill the pain? or panadol are useless?

panadol will help reduce the pain for 4 hours... you will need antibiotic to hasten the healing....

Just now go my downstair pharmacy bought a medicine Arcoxia. It usefull? need take after lunch? i feel i cant eat also. pain~

No prescription bill to tell you?

prescription bil? the pharmacy person just gv me this medic when i ask for panadol. she said panadol not for tooth pain. then ask me 1 day eat 1 pill.

i had wisdom tooth growing too . sometime it pain when chewing food

i asked the doctor and he told me its too early to pull the tooth out .

so how i do now ? pull it out or let it grow till the doctor approve it ?

arcoxia pain relief is same strenght as panadol... but it last much longer.... 8-12 hours.... and cost way more too........

Kona... it's easier to take it out when you are young... the longer you wait, the harder it gets.....

yup.. totally agreed with DrB.. better to pull it out asap.. the longer u wait, u will suffer the pain a lot longer.. even effect ur gum

really ? i'll try to do asap

btw any idea where can i got good dentist with reasonable price ?

kl area will do

go to UM since private is expensive

in that case , how long the queue ?

im not waiting my gums to rot

My dentist also say I got impacted wisdom tooth,meaning the tooth isn't growing straight out,it's growing sideways(meaning the tooth looks like it's lying on it's body).Lol dunno how to describe it.

Is it necessary to pull it out?
