I had my incisor extracted sometime last year after persistent pestering from my siblings. This tooth had somehow jutted due to aging shrinking of the jaw??
Today, all set for a tooth implant at Rm6,000, I was told it could not be performed for the space between teeth is too narrow! "Your advice then, doc?" "Marlland I hope I got it right bridging," he offered.
"So, how much does it cost?" "Rm800." I sighed a relief .... viola! saved Rm5,200! With the scheduled hour for supposed tooth implant in mind, I told him to scale my teeth instead.
He gladly obliged ... then suggested ...."Shall I have an x-ray of your teeth?...This tooth needs restoration ... this one too ..... and this .... and ..."
Aiya, with Rm5,200 saving, do wat you like lor .... restoration? not tooth decay wor, necessary meh? x ray? wat for man? braces some more ...wanna torture me ar?
"Leena, scaling to be continued next visit alright? Also be prepared for one molar implant each on upper and lower jaw."
Meaning I gotta cough out Rm12,000 ar? No discount meh? Do so much aleli wor?
And the reply ....fixed across the board or words to that effect!!
What a PRICE to pay? Loan ..... from anyone?
