Wisdom teeth

SL completed her braces with us in 1999. She was then awarded a government scholarship to study at an Ivy League university in the US. After spending 8 years completing her bachelors and masters degrees, SL returned to Singapore to serve out her scholarship bond.

Upon her return, SL resumed her orthodontic retainer and dental follow-up with us in 2007. Just this year, her wisdom tooth started to cause problems and it was decided that the wisdom tooth had to go.

Her appointment was scheduled for today and our oral and maxillofacial specialist removed the tooth in under 30 minutes. Both she and her mother were all smiles at the end of the procedure. She did not need to take painkillers (analgesics) because according to her, there was no pain. Furthermore, her fees were mostly covered with her parents' Medisave.
