Made a visit to the dentist on Thursday because my tooth ached recently. I had a chipped tooth a couple of weeks ago but decided against getting it filled here as it's gonna be expensive. But in the end, due to the pain, I had to go visit Dr Lim. Well, according to him, my tooth had a bit of decay in the chipped area cause it's hard to brush... So he removed the decay, and did a tooth filling. And the bill was... $180! Dammit. Broke again...

The next day, the tooth still hurt, so I called him and he told me to go back.. And he told me I need a root canal treatment. Cost: $2000!!!

But the reason for this post is... I would really like to thank him, and recommend him to anyone who needs to see a dentist. He is really caring and patient and listens to his patients. I told him that as a student, I really don't have a lot of money. And so, he did some treatment on me to remove the pain for 2 months (so that I can get through exams), and advised me to continue treatment in Singapore, where it's cheaper. And the treatment he gave me was done free of charge. So, seriously, I highly recommend him.
