Hi Jessica,

Sorry to hear about it. Please check with NDC on the possibility of using the medisave or your husband or siblings or parents or do they have any available option.

If need to, I remember NDC mentioned that we can walk in direct instead of waiting for an appointment. Please quickly check with them on the medisave part and about walking in and the charges. Usually it is the one that needs surgical extraction that will cost more, in the range of hundreds but should be less than $300 per tooth. The normal ones will just cost in the range of tens.

I hope this help; please have it extracted fast as you wouldn’t want to lead to other complication. Any other question, please feel free to contact me again.

I’m also having wisdom tooth problem now n it hurts so bad that it looks as if half of my face looks so swollen. I can barely open my mouth for a mouthful of rice! But the problem is that I’m currently unemployed n I don’t have any medisave anymore cause I miscarriage my child few months back n used it all up.. Is there any other way to get help? Or is there any other way to get it removed in a much cheaper way? (ps, if I have to remove, I have to remove all 3! The newest tooth is the one that’s giving me so much trouble now…) T^T help…

@ J, the duration really depends. For my case, it was very fast. When I first contacted the polyclinic to get the letter, I have my appointment on the next day as I informed them that I need a referral letter to NDC. My appointment with the NDC was also very fast about a week. On the day I went for my appointment with NDC, they actually asked if I want to have my wisdom tooth extracted on the same afternoon but I didn’t want to. So I had my extraction set 2 days later (if I remember correctly). Thus it was all done in about 2 weeks.

However, I have another reader who went through smiliar process but was only able to get the appointment for the extraction about a month later. So it really depends on whether there are a lot of appointment during the time you call. Hope this answer your questions. If you need help, do feel free to contact me any time.

Hi. I would like to have some information on the estimated duration from getting a referral letter from the polyclinic to finally extracting your wisdom tooth as well. I am currently having the same condition. Although mine only causes mild irritation.

@ Doris, hope all went well for your extraction. Although medisave is still our money, at least we don’t have to fork out that lump sum at one go. Do have a good rest after your extraction.

@ Sen, sorry to hear about your wisdom tooth giving you trouble. I can understand how you are feeling now as I had been through before. I certainly hope you can find something appropriate online so you can help your family save on the removal. And I hope you can get it fixed soon.
