I recalled going for a surgery at National Dental Health many many years ago to remove my lower left wisdom tooth. After that my upper wisdom teeth had been giving me problems every now and then, and I was told to take an Xray to check whether they can be removed by normal extraction. Fortunately it can be done. In fact the dentist said I can remove both at the sametime. Last week my gum started to get swollen again so I went down to the dentist on Tuesday. I thought it was going to be quite plain sailing, just like what the dentist said. To my horror, the dentist had a hard time removing my tooth. The main problem was she had no strength to pull out my tooth. Its really scary to see her struggling so hard, pulling from my left and then my right.She changed her position quite a few times. She even got to change to an extra big "screwdriver" to pull out my tooth. According to her, 90% it will be successful, the extraction will cost me $100, but if it fails, I have to go to specialist and fork out $500 ! To make things worse, she only gave me 1 day MC, this was too much ! I am not going to her for extraction anymore!
