Check for wisdom teeth

[sacredrays]

I do not have any erupted wisdom tooth but worry that if there are any hiding under my gum that would cause problems after I ord. I am thinking of getting a dental xray to scan for hidden wisdom teeth.

How do I go about getting an dental appointment in the saf medical centre for such cases? My friends have erupted wisdom teeth and they called for an appointment stating that they have impacted wisdom tooth whereas I am not sure I have wisdom tooth or not...

You need a diagnostic called Orthopantomography (OPG).

This can only be done at selected polyclinics and at all outpatient dental clinics in hospital.

As such, you need a referral.

Your reason is valid for finding un-erupted tooth. So you may go to the medical centre for referral.

Ok, so I can go and call for an appointment to check for un-erupted tooth, but does it have to be accompanied with having any tooth pains or anything? I do not feel anything.

Will try calling on the dental centre on monday. Thanks.

I have recently just went to a polyclinic to check-up on my teeth plus scaling and polishing!

It's very easy to see the dentist there, just give their appointment centers a call and all appointments will be made on the spot for you.

Hope this helps, take care!
