Oh. I mean gum disease is something cannot wait. U are waiting for a time bomb to go off. U can go YouTube to see. Too many videos on such. It's the same as cavities and tooth decay. And it doesn't affect just one teeth.

Ya. I also dunno what's restructure. In any case, dental is very time based one. Is like kena illness, u won't want to wait. Cause the longer, the worst it gets. Unless u in late 60s, u don't mind. Or u already give up ur teeths and want to do full implant. That one really can wait. U want to wait meh? As well go overseas do sua.

Is not about waiting right. Is about whether willing to pay and afford to pay

Lucky I didn't get gum disease.. early Aug went see dentist. That's his diagnosis.

Now I am feeling my right top molar having sensation. Seems like the craze lines are turning into a crack.

There is a light pain every now and then. Tooth is not sensitive to hot or cold. I can see a line running down but not to the gum yet. Hopefully they can bond and use resin instead.

Besides polyclinic, any other good suggestion where can I get polishing and scaling for a reasonable price and service?

Nope, preferably not more than $80.

Nope, preferably not more than $80.

i had a clean/polishing/consult dental appt at ndcs last nov and then follow up appt was scheduled for mar 23.
however, since nov till now, it has been rescheduled 5 times, always quoting "your attending doctor is not available."

anyone knows if this is common and usual practice there at ndcs?

my next "supposed" appt is in 3 weeks...

i did a root canal treatment more than 10 years ago. recently, the gum will sometimes swollen with pus and was told there is infection. was advised to redo root canal treatment. anyone had similar experience?

yes i also experienced this 5 years ago ( gum will have boil like pimple after burst pimple will keep reform), this happen on tooth that got root canal several years before, in the end go to endodontist to do retreatment of root canal (find the previous dentist not treat all the canal properly, missed one canal) and need do re-crowning again. Total damage more than 2.5k

 

[laurent_rio]

so ex? my dentist said she don't redo root canal but can refer me to specialist, cost about 1k+.
how was the pain level for the redo?

Thats total with recrowning
Retreatment RCT = 1600 + crown about 900
