I have just had my first dental visit in what seems like eons to me. I can't even remember when was the last year that I visited a dentist. To be honest, I have never liked dentists much. The sounds they make when drilling holes into the teeth make me shiver and so I had managed to avoid seeing a dentist for so long.
However recently my wisdom tooth is starting to hurt my gum badly. It hurt so much that I can't use my right jaw to chew any food at all. Hot drinks or cold drinks serve to add pain to my already aching gum.
Anyway I went to the dental clinic that is closest to my home, Tan Dental Surgery. Dr. Tan wasn't that bad as he chirped away happily during my treatment. As my upper right wisdom tooth is grinding down on my lower jaw gums, he suggested doing an extraction soon. In the meantime, he would set everything nicely so that it wouldn't hurt so badly. I don't really understand what he meant by setting but they don't include any extraction.
The total bill came to $230 and so I'm terribly broke right now. I truly hate my wisdom tooth for giving me so much trouble. Now I still feel some soreness around the affected area but I will be going to a polyclinic to get a referral letter to get a specialist to extract my wisdom tooth. Man, I really can't stand the pain. (>.<)
Wish me (and my wallet) luck!
