Got my wisdom teeth extracted at Ace Family DentalCare

I finally had the courage to fix a dental appointment to have my wisdom teeth extraction done. Really happy with the services received from Ace Family DentalCare. I went there for my usual dentist visit and am already very satisfied with them so they have my full trust when i decided to go for this surgery. Special thanks to the surgeon (specialist), Dr. Yong!

Heard so many stories from my friends' experiences really got me frightened, building up the fear in me. I definitely don't think i have high endurance of pain but surprisingly, my whole experience under the care of Dr. Yong and the rest of the staff at Ace Family DentalCare was very comfortable and painless. I don't feel pain at all, not even during the jab or the after effect.
When is the best time to have my wisdom teeth removed?
It is now recommended by specialists that impacted wisdom teeth be removed between the ages of 14 and 22 years whether they are causing problems or not. The procedure is technically easier and patients recover much more quickly when they are younger. 
My upper back teeth were okay actually but my bottom two are impacted so the surgeon told me i have to remove all four of them. I like how Dr. Yong explained the whole process so clearly to me, making sure i know what is going on in each stage. Everything including X-ray and medication is covered by Medisave.


The jab, about 4 times on each side..
Dr. Yong was quick and professional.. not pain just light pressure felt..

Protective suit on.. was not able to smile with a numb mouth after the jab. 

Dr. Yong and the staff kept on telling me I am doing well during the extraction. They were all very encouraging and nice. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was my airway in which I kept wanting to cough (most likely due to the medication).

Discomfort was minimal but I didn't want to take the risk of hurting the wounds so I waited my food to be cool before I eat them as I was advised not to take hot food.


The very next morning. A swollen face but still feeling all well. Had to head out and meet this buddy for our theory test. The surgeon mentioned that ice-cream is the best choice so i pulled him to have Swensens with me.




The swell got bigger on the 2nd night and much more on the 3rd day.. Say "Chubby bunny!"

Porridge for like almost a week ever since.. until the swell is gone..
3rd night onwards.. swell got smaller and am recovering well thereafter.

  An excuse to indulge in ice-cream!

Removal of stitches after a week was a quick and painless process.

I hope my sharing can ease your worries if you are about to undergo similar extraction.
I guess a good dental with a skillful surgeon matters a lot.
