at last after almost 20 years…
dental, dentist, health, plan, tooth January 8th, 2010At last, I pulled my bad tooth on Wednesday at one of the dentists at Kampung Air, Kota Kinabalu. The day before, Tuesday, I had it x-rayed at one of the dental clinic at Damai, Luyang and bought some pain killer… all for RM70.
It was not a straight forward tooth removal… my bad tooth shattered while the dentist tried to pull it out… the dentist has to do some surgery to pull the three roots buried deep into my strong gum 😛 The tooth foundation was still very firm… only the top part is bad.
Because of that, I have to spend RM500 instead of RM150 for just pulling one tooth!!! The tooth was quite bad… the filling on it which was done about 20 years ago was occupying almost the whole surface of my tooth. I should have fixed it long time ago or get myself a Blue Cross Blue Shield NC health plan… but I really don’t like visiting dentist…
Lesson learned… if you hate visiting the dentist… you must take a good care of your teeth’s health… coz bad teeth will make you suffer… but healthy teeth will save your money!!!
