Wisdom.

I always have a phobia of going to the dentist since I was young. When I was in primary school, I still remember that evil Indian dentist who called me to the dental clinic in school to pluck out my teeth, and I did not know why. It was so painful and she was so rough as she was doing it. It felt so horrible that I cried when I got home.

But yesterday I was so brave! I left work in the afternoon to visit the dentist at Clarke Quay, The Central, to remove my wisdom tooth! The place looks well-maintained and the view was great!

To my surprise, both my wisdom tooth are growing out horizontally, like the picture below (just an example). So I have to remove it asap for the left one because it was located quite close to the nerve. I had to do surgical extraction :(


My gums were numbed before I did the X-ray so it was not painful at all, until I have to pluck out the upper tooth. I can feel the pain because it wasn't numb yet. I felt the roots being pulled out & it reminded me of the past :'( below is a picture of the upper tooth, and the bits and pieces of my wisdom tooth.


I still accompanied my mum to the bank before I head home to change the gauze in my mouth.Only had a pathetic bowl of white porridge, which I took about half an hour to finish it. After 3 hours, I was hungry again so I had a piece of white bread, soaked in water and swallow it in.

In case you think that extracting wisdom tooth is expensive, do not worry because this place offers payment through Medisave! So if you or your parent has medisave, you can be subsidized 100%.

The dental clinic is located at 8 Eu Tong Sen Street #20-86 Office 2 at The Central [Above Clarke Quay MRT Station, direct access from exit G] You may book your appointment @ 62227075


Use the lift located in the lobby beside the Subway to our clinic. You will need to call our clinic using the intercom located beside the lift:
1. Press 2086 (which is the clinic unit number)
2. Follow by the red bell
3. Wait for it to be connected
4. Once its connected, our staff will activate Lift No.3 which is right next to the intercomn
5. Wait for Lift No.3 and enter

I hope this information is useful!

Have a great day ahead!
