      Oh dear, went to polyclinic dentist 2day to see if they can save a tooth (half gone due to massive filling dropping out). The dentist there refer me to NDC to do root canal and crowning.

      If the tooth is half gone, isn't it less traumatic to extract and do implant, rather than go thru the terrifying process of root canal treatment. Some tooth can be so badly damaged, it's no point trying to save it.

      Yah that's what I think too. I'm worried abt the cost. So the dentist suggest root canal and crowning instead. Can you roughly know how much you paid so far? I was told by the dental nurse there that the cpf claim can only be 1/4 of the total cost. So if $2.8K is what u claimed, then u got to pay $8.4K!? Cannot be so expensive right? I think the dental nurse is wrong.

        No, it's not so expensive. Specialist charge should be about 4.5K(plus minus abit) Mine was not done by a specialist, so it should be much cheaper. I can give you my dentist's name if you want.

                        Sorry a bit off topic. My 6yo son req surgery to remove an extra tooth. Was being quoted $2.2k by the pd in Camden. Has anyone sent their child for dental surgery before? Is the price reasonable? Is it cheaper to go NDC? Seem like many parents r not happy with NDC. Pls help. Thks.
