Dentist: Eventually, the tooth will hurt and you have to get a root canal done and put a crown on it. When you do that, you'll have to extract the wisdom tooth next to it too. Alternatively, you can just get it extracted.
Moi: Erm... how much would the root canal and crowning cost?
Dentist: Oh... a thousand (Ringgit Malaysia) plus. Together with the wisdom tooth surgery, it'll come up to around two thousand(!).
Moi: (trying to keep my composure) But it'll be alright if i extract it, right (i knew that extraction will cost just around RM50 or so). I dun really need that tooth...?
Dentist: Oh, yes, you can just extract it. But it is better to crown it.
Yeah, right. After comparing the price, obviously it'll be better to crown it. In fact, he'll be glad if he crowns me with many crowns!!!!
The filling which came out - and caused me to have to go to the dentist!!!
