During my BMT, I had a wisdom tooth on the bottom left side that grew diagonally, as it was pushing against my last molar, it caused great pain. So bad that icould not sleep at night and had to punch myself on the face to numb the pain. I remember visiting the dentist in Tekong and was told that it is better for me to find a dentist outside as they did not have any slots to schedule me for the removal.

But the cost was too high for me when i checked outside and decided that i wanted to have it done in camp. From there on, the dentist kept on saying that since i was a few weeks from POP, i should wait til i get to my new unit. ZZZ…

So, being a obedient and poor soldier, i waited and realised that my new camp, the old PROVOST Camp at Clementi, had no dental clinic!!! And i was there for a month!!! (in between i went to dental clinics to check out prices and get pain killers to save my sanity)

Finally, i went to an airbase in the west. And over there, the dentist did get rid of the wisdom tooth but in the process broke my molar and did no repairs for it!! And there was no sorry either. Just a sentence that went something like ‘Oh, your molar is broken too.’ I only had a day or two mc (can’t remember)and was back on duty with lots of pain killers.

Thanks to SAF dentists, i now have half a molar buried under my gums. So, i have had enough of dentists from the SAF.

PS: if you dont believe me, i can take a picture and show you thru email.

thankyou. please help.

Anymore lobang you got?

Good to know for new recruits and those that are just about to ORD.
