ironpeasant SG Different ppl have different sets of teeth. Whether anot it decays depends on how ur teeth are layed out. I just went for my dental check up last wk, also have a wisdom tooth. Luckily ORD-ing nx month, still can pluck it out for free!!
ditzy SG Decay or not depends on how you take care of it. If you don't clean it proper, food will stay there rot and your teeth goes with it.
silvercap SG How come I will click the link, damn it, I dun wanna know the stories, tomorrow is my turn, I'm very scared now!
TXian SG Do check out their dental saws and drills when you are there...More fanciful than ur NS rifles.
Urroh SG Ya it wont hurt too much.. no feeling 1 after all the injection. Btw, i got two of my wisdom tooth taken out by Army dentists.. so far so good comparable to alexandar hospital dentists.. I got another side taken out by alexandar hospital. But it depends on yr army dentists.. but should be ok i think. But no under NS.. prepare to hurt your pockets..
pierre^^ SG impacted wisdom tooth means need some minor surgery (cutting of gums) when surgery is involved, u can used ur medisave to pay lor just give NDC a call if ur medisave nt enuff, u can use ur papa or mama one

LetterboxMind SG I removed all my wisdom tooth in NS. It was totally free. Of course i did it by the book. I went to the medical centre, and requested for a wisdom tooth check. They referred me to a army dental centre (can't remember where) who then referred me to Alexandra Hospital (even asked me which hospital i wanted). I only remembered paying for my medicine like painkillers and antibiotics. Probably spent around $50 in total (i think) for medicine. When i got the bill, i was shocked. More than $1000 just to remove 4 teeth. But it was all waived because of the magical 11B. Plenty of people of knew did it and didn't pay for the operation.
LetterboxMind SG What do you think? After ORD, can stroll into polyclinic to see the doctor and claim free medicine and mc? Of course not!
