I’m CRIPPLED by my fear of tooth extraction. Ive a wisdom tooth on the end of my lower left side - it’s not impacted, just like a normal tooth.

So, the extraction done by Prof HO is really 100% PAINLESS? I’m very troubled by this

And what’s the cost for a wisdom tooth extraction from Prof Ho?

Appreciate your help

i read so many cases of pple who are afraid of the pain while undergoing wisdom tooth surgery. I had mine removed towards the end of 2009 and i can say that i have a very good experience with the clinic. Mine was an impacted wisdom tooth which had decay and was hurting really bad. There are good points to note while visiting my dentist;

1)some people are afraid of the anaesthesia even before the surgery even happen. As for me, i couldnt even feel an ant-bite. My dentist asked me to gargle my mouth afterwhich he cleansed mg mouth with a swab (those giant cottonbud-type thing)– by then i couldnt feel anything in my mouth and the dentist was nice enough to ask me whether im feeling anything before finally injecting the anaesthesia (which looked like a huge metal syringe-scary at first) but im surprised when i felt no pain.

2)throughout the surgery, the dentist had me put on earphones and listen to music to distract me. You can even bring your own gadget and have them on fullblast while the dentist is doing his work (cos all the drilling sound is honestly not pretty at all-u dun hve to hear all that). I can only feel a bit of tuggibg and pulling of cos, but seriously no pain at all, i swear.

3)everythings included in the whole medisave payment. Doc’s consultation, meds, xray, everything and even when i go back to the dentist’s to remove the stitch no payment whatsoever. I dont need to pay a single cent which is a relief cos dental services so ex in sg. Total deducted from my Hub’s medisave is $900 for my one tooth which for me is definitely worth it. I would def go back for other extractions done but filling services quite ex.

The clinic im referring to is Sunshine Smile Dental Implant Centre Pte Ltd, located at Woodlands Civic Centre on Level 3. Can call them at 6365 4398 to enquire. Customer service very efficient too and helpful and friendly. Definitely thumbs up and highly recommended!

Were your tooth impacted? I am planning to remove my completely horizontally impact tooth in two days time. I am getting a specialist to do it under intravenous sedation. Like Ade-Princess case, I am afraid that I will not be numb by LA… feeling rather sick with fear now.

I dont know whether my reply is abit too late now… hopefully not.. Recently, on 13 Jan 2010, I had both my right side wisdom tooth extraction. The whole procedure no pain at all except initially when the dentist injected the anesthsia (but it is only like ant bite).

His clinic name is Ho Kee Hai & Partners and is on the #13-10/11/12 Paragon Medical Centre. Tel : 6235-7498.

My extractions were done by Prof Ho himself. He is a wonderful dentist which i highly recommend.
