My 1st Dentist Visit in 5 years.....


It not because of my toothache, who would want to see a dentist. Ever since young, i have this probia of visiting the dentist. Well, it's not just me alone, almost everyone that i talk to have the same experiences as me too. The sounds of the drill machines. This become worse as Dental fear may also develop as people hear about others' traumatic experiences or negative views of dentistry too..
After taking a X-ray of my gone-case molar or something like that on my teeths, his conclusion was that there were 2 solutions or rather options that i could choose from.
1st, a rather complicated and all those chimmology terms that i hardly understand. Basically is just involves drilling the teeth down to the nerves. Next, suck out all the infection tissue?? out. Lastly fill it back with some kind of filling.
Next steps is to make a crown (man-made tooth) and fit it back to my half-broken tooth using a screw..
It would take around 5 visits to complete all the above-mentioned operation and the cost that that.. 1.2k . Wau, i don't know you will needs 1.2 just to save a tooth. And the 1st visit would take 1.5 hours to complete x 5 . A total of 8 hours for this operation. This works out to be $200/hour.
The other method which is the cheapest and easy way out is to just pluck /extract the tooth lor. Cost will be less than 100 bucks and done in just 10 minutes.. But will have a lot of problems later on ba.
Btw all this will be done under LA, a jab to your gum so as to numb all the nerves in the tooth.
Am still considering which methods to go for...
