ToofDoctor<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve been to a fair number of dental clinics in Singapore, and I must say I’m most impressed with this one.\u00a0 They have a couple of outlets around, and the one I went to is at Tanjong Pagar.<\/p>\nIt was first recommended to me by Reko, who used to work around there.\u00a0 Initially, I was quite worried that it’s another dental clinic who will charge “caucasian prices” when they see Reko, but no, that’s not the case. He had his wisdom tooth extraction there too, and when he still felt pain for the next few days, he went back and the dentist re-examined him for free<\/em>.\u00a0 Now, that’s what I call “after-sales customer service”.\u00a0 They can easily charge him the standard consultation fee or something, but no they did not.\u00a0 This gave me a very good impression of them.<\/p>\nAfter my horrendous wisdom tooth surgery experience with NTUC Denticare (Marine Parade branch), I decided to switch to ToofDoctor, since my company had increased our dental claim amount to S$250.00 per year.\u00a0 And I’m glad I made the change.\u00a0 The receptionists are always very friendly and they are never once without a smile on their face when you walk into the clinic.\u00a0 My dentist, Dr Choy, is also a very nice and gentle guy, who gave me a lot of reassurance about this extraction after he heard my ordeal with the previous dental clinic.<\/p>\n
He promised a painless extraction, and painless it is.\u00a0 Well, at least during the process.\u00a0 I’m feeling quite a bit of the pain now that the anesthetic is wearing off.\u00a0 Well, there’s the painkillers, but Reko advised me not to take them unless it’s really too painful to bear.<\/p>\n
My wisdom tooth was extraordinarily big, and even the dentist commented so.\u00a0 It had a 3-root canal, which gave him a bit of trouble when he was trying to get it out.\u00a0 XD\u00a0 Anyway, it’s out now, and here I am enjoying a 1 day MC, typing this entry with an empty stomach while biting on a blood-soaked gauze.<\/p>\n
