My Trip to Singapore: Visiting Dentist - Part 2

As I've mentioned before, it took me three appointments to finish all the treatments. Here are some problems:
First, there are two teeth that needs to be treated right away. There was cavity under the filling, due to the previous dentist didn't clean it throughly enough before filling the teeth. It shown on the xray as well as my teeth, where it visibly looked black under the filling.
Second, one of the front teeth, looked "dirty" and couldn't be flossed through. Still the same problem, it hadn't been cleaned properly before being filled. The filling was not done properly, thus it couldn't be flossed through.
Both of the teeth had gone through canal treatment. But, the x-ray shown that the previous dentist didn't clean and filled it properly, therefore I was in high risk of infection.
Damn it, I will never ever go back to my dentist at Indonesia. Thanks to the horrible works, I've to burned a biiiiiiiggg hole on wallet to get them fixed. Argh! But... at the same time, I can't afford to keep going to Singapore dentist. It's sooooo expensive. First-class treatment and service comes with first-class price. Aaaaaa......... Let's continue
Third, a new cavity formed in between teeth. Even though I flossed it regularly and making sure it was cleaned throughly everytime. Oh well... (Y^Y)
Forth, replacing a really old filling.
Fifth, the initial treatment, scaling and polishing.
So, Dr. Lee fixed everything flawlessly. I didn't hurt at all during filling. I though that pain was normal, until I went to there. No pain, miraculously. I can floss through my teeth now.
Eve after scaling and polishing, there was no pain. I can even went out to eat not long later without any pain or sensitivity inflicted. Hohoho~
The best part of the service was... mirror! Haha! I was given a mirror to see for myself the progresss of the treatment, as well as Dr. Lee explanation. In my opinion, only dentists with high-credibility will do that *clap*
Oh man, how much I love how my teeth look like after finishing the treatment. I got complimented a lot.
Dr. Lee indeed is a genius. Thanks God that I met him (TvT)9
As for the cost part... ugh... *jump off the floor*
*revived* When I go back to Jakarta later, I must find a part-time job. Must save up for the next appointment next year. My parents couldn't afford it anymore, so, I will earn the money myself. I refuse to go anywhere than that after the horrible experience from my country's dentists *goodbye, never wanna see you again~*
Hopefully I can earn enough though. (Y^Y) as for the orthodotic treatment... I don't think I'll ever earn enough...
Breaking news:
I told my friends about my experience. Most of their friends  went to Singapore or other country to recieve dental treatment. Guess what? All of their dentists are annoyed with the works of Indonesia dentists, which are not good at all and problematic. That explains the denstistry standard in my country. Bad works and money-minded dentists with expensive fee is a common sight here. Of course, not all Indonesia dentists are like that. The are a few geniuses and kind-hearted one with passion for their jobs and patients dental health.
I love my country, Indonesia. I hope that, as years goes by, the dental and medical industry will be better and better towards the first-class standard. :)







You Are Sensitive
Of all the types, you are the most self-aware and intuitive. You truly get what is going on.
You thrive when you are able to be as creative and imaginative as you want to be. You don't do well with limits.

Some people may think that you're a bit moody or tormented, but you can't help but be very keyed in to the world around you.
You do your best to live a unique and beautiful life. You are a bit self-absorbed, but then again, who isn't?
