If you have read my review @ http://mytriptothedentist.blogspot.sg/2014/05/q-dental-at-ang-mo-kio-amk-review.html about my visit to Q&M - Dr Gan, you would know that I had an occlusion problem after doing fillings. (It means that I cannot close my mouth properly) This is due a high filling.
As Q&M is fully booked, I went to Smile Division for a consultation.
I did not catch the dentist's name (I will find out soon enough ;) ), but he is a male dentist with dark skin tone. He also said he has 4 years of experience.
He checked my bite and noted nothing wrong with it. He said it is a little off but should not affect the bite. In fact, he said he thinks it's psychology. (Which translates to I overthink it.) He did offer to polish it, but because he said it did not affect the bite and it was because of psychology, I decided not to.
Well, if you read my review @ http://mytriptothedentist.blogspot.sg/2014/05/q-dental-at-ang-mo-kio-amk-review.html about my visit to Q&M - Dr James Lee, you would know that my bite is indeed affected and he managed to correct it by polishing (not sure if it is the right term) the filling. I was so touched because I could finally close my mouth and the difference is now apparent.
Moral of the story? Trust yourself and your instinct. Always seek a second or third opinion if you are unsure. Never fully put your trust in another person who is not going through the same thing as you.
P.S. Dont bother sending emails to any of the dentists stated in the Smile Division website. They will all bounce back eventually.
