neighbourhood dentist is still the best.
i hate NDC.
seriously.. they suck. i went there twice and both my experience were bad. the 1st one made me cried and e 2nd one made me pissed- so pissed that i had to tell the dentist off. i'm not being difficult or what. u shld know my customer-service trait is high. so i normally won't make things difficult for pple. but the dentist and the nurses who attended to me were really quite... i can't find the words. i respect them for their profession.. i know they've studied really hard, spent really alot of money on their educational life and took a long way to where they are today. but it's time they know how to respect their patients- to treat them as humans, and not objects. i was there today. to finish up my root canal. initially i was quite afraid (coz e first experience was too traumatizing)... i was as meek as a dove. but as time passes, my blood starts to boil. firstly, the dentist was so rough. when she needs me to turn left, she'll say "turn left!" and push my face towards that direction. "tilt up!" and she'll just push my chin upwards. when she operates on my tooth, she was using so much force and whatever and it hurts so much dat i HAD TO tell her not to be so rough. secondly, u know the tube to suck out our saliva? alot of times the nurse went to put the tube so near my oesophagus that it made me nearly vomitted. in the end i had no choice but to initiate and take the tube from her and control myself while the dentist work on my tooth. lastly, after opening my mouth for 2 hours, i was getting tired. but the dentist keep asking me to open my mouth bigger so that she can work on my tooth. okay fine i understand, so in order to make things easier, i had to use my cheek muscles to make my mouth open bigger.. and u know what the dentist did?! she pinched my cheek and ask me to loosen up! i know, quite funny.. but my chubby cheek hurts! when everything ended, my face machiam like being slapped a few times.. it was PAIN. not from the surgery, but from the treatment received from them. so here's a piece of advice for the dentist and the nurses: i know u guys are friendly and is tryin to help and i really appreciate your effort for making my toothache go away.. but maybe u can learn to respect and treat the patients with a human touch. we paid alot you know. when i pluck out my wisdom tooth at the bedok neighbourhood dentist, the dentist was soo nice! (pls refer to my previous post). my experience there was so much better then the NDC experience!! the bedok dentist was so nice and friendly and will pre-empt you what he's going to do so that you won't feel scared or wad.. but NDC is like they dun even tell you what they plan to do.. all you see is the dentist holding on to the screwdrivers, pilers, injections and hooks and move towards your mouth. haix. moral of the story: i highly recommend the bedok dentist. ask me for his contacts if you need! |
