[Serious] if you got several teeth need to root canal

[Ethan_]

Think not just regular brushing. Need to floss frequently also. For those older get, think food get stuck easily in between teeth. Leave it there for awhile and decay will happen. So, need to floss often also whenever eat. Some small pieces stuck inside won't feel it until floss then can see it.

Just sharing, as came across this particular topic posters are discussing inside this thread.



Seems like there are MPs aware of this too, hopefully there will be a day where we can utilise Medisave for Root Canal Treament fully.

As of right now, Medicare use are too restrictive. Machiam like 棺材本 in a sense. Hopefully he can do bring up inside parliament, so that we are able to have a fruitful debate on this issue.

Yes, I have questioned a dentist on that. They are also trying to 'fight' for this medisave withdrawal for root canal treatment for years. To me root canal is never really consider as aesthetic treatment as losing the tooth can also mean the inability to consume our food properly also but because its not an operation procedure we are restricted to access our medisave to salvage whatever is left in our mouth lol.

Nowadays dental clinics in SG also not easy to operate. The one I went at aljunied just shuttered its door.

Personal experience, root canal did not work for me.
Extract and did implant. Cost more because waited too long bone gone need do bone grafting. Procedure also took 4 more months due to bone grafting.

i spray 3% hydrogen peroxide into my lower teeth occasionally. upper teeth are less susceptible to issues. this disinfects the gums

i also brush whenever i feel my teeth is dirty. and constantly finger my teeth around the gums to check for shakiness, dental plaque and tartar. if there's hardened plaque ie tartar, i use a titanium dental scaler to dig it out

whenever i eat chicken or pork ribs, i chew on the cartilage and bones to make sure my tooth are holding up. the cartilage is eaten but bones are there for jaw exercise

i've never visited a dentist except for compulsory school dental checks & never lost any teeth before. all 4 3rd molars are intact. my teeth is very important to me. it's a weapon and also for chewing food. i do whatever it takes to keep them strong till the last day

Weapon?
U bite ppl with it? Haha.

Marry liao, ugly also nobody care already. But hor, teeth really no spare parts one.
Might need to travel accross to JB for cheap treatment but with risk.

Once gone, gone forever. If can afford, better save what’s left, else end up eating porridge forever.

Love for food die faster than love for your husband without teeth

Marry liao still need care appearance for self confidence ma.
Will start do flossing.
Im too young for dentures.
Sweet food is hard to avoid.

 

[XiaoChilli]

start flossing to preserve your other teeth.
no alterantive to that.
u can try to floss properly after brushing well and you will see how much stuff remains after brushing

I got oral irrigator aka water floss.
But the dentist told me interdental brush works more effective than water floss

I left the tooth requiring root canal there very long .. if I ever need do implant also might need bone grafting.

Inside Aljunied MRT or near Geylang East Hawker Centre there?

 

[XiaoChilli]

FYI Medisave can be used up to $1250 per tooth for implant surgery.
The problem is many people are ill informed as to what it can or cannot be used for.

Implant need metal is it? Next time how do mri? Hmm

 

[XiaoChilli]

Brush teeth not enough, need to floss daily. Toothbrush doesn’t get to the places that floss does.
If don’t floss daily at least every 6 months go for routine cleaning at dental clinic

I go for routine cleaning every 4 months. They cant do xray that time coz I was pregnant.

Titanium is MRI safe.

PS. Floss. Brushing removes onky what’s on the surface. If you have to choose between brushing and flossing, choose flossing. I can understand that when have BB flossing is difficult because it is difficult to lean close to the mirror. I kinda know because I is buibui hahaha. Still must floss. Do it by feel.
