I went to polyclinic for consultation $20 and got a referral letter to national dental centre in apr 2010. 2wks later delivered baby and went for consultation at NDC in jun for about $80 with x-ray. 2wks later got all 4 teeth out (impacted, removal of bone without division of teeth) at 1shot with local anesthesia. This costed $1536 minus $687 government grant (need ref letter) so total $850 all deducted from medisave. Just bring IC and the staff will let u sign a CPF $$ release form (bring ur whoever to sign if u’re using other ppl’s CPF) I guess the extraction surgery is not good if u’re pregnant. I had pain from 1st trimester and endured till after delivery. The consultation in apr also showed that surgery+anesthesia is not good.. medication (anti-biotics, mouthwash, panadol) should be fine, but u’ll probably do it after delivery. Yes can claim medisave.

The consultation costs as well. Thank you. Hi Would like to find out how much is it roughly to remove a wisdom tooth? The consultation costs as well. Thank you.

Does wisdom tooth surgery & its medications in any way affect pregnancy? Hi Dr Tan,

I don’t know if this is a foolish question but I’ll just ask anyway. Does wisdom tooth surgery & its medications in any way affect pregnancy?

They only did after it's already painful and a lot more difficult to extract. I know a lot of people who didn’t have their impacted wisdom teeth extracted as soon as they notice it.

Root canal was done 20 years ago. I am aged 72 and have a haert blockage for which dentists would advise caution. Operation may need to be done by LA. . Could you please advise if nerve damage can be avoided in operation, will the operation be done in hospital, period of hospitalization and approx. costs for the surgery (entire procedure). I am in Dhaka, Bangladesh and need to pre-arrange fund in Singapore. Early reply will be much appreciated. Thanks : Anwar Ahmed Dear Dr Sien,
