A Singapore woman who travelled to Johor Bahru for a routine dental cleaning procedure was left in pain after a tooth filling purportedly left her nerve tissue exposed.<\/p>\n
“This is the first time in my life experiencing something so painful,” the woman told Shin Min Daily News of her ordeal.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old, surnamed Li, had been treated at Q & M Dental Group Malaysia’s Taman Sentosa branch on Sept 4, reported the Chinese publication.<\/p>\n
Li said it was her first time at that clinic \u2014 she typically does scaling and polishing at another branch but could not attend her original appointment.<\/p>\n
A dentist reportedly recommended fillings for two teeth, which she agreed to.<\/p>\n
However, Li claimed she experienced extreme pain when her tooth was drilled without warning. A large space was left after the treatment, she said.<\/p>\n
In all, she paid about RM383 (S$120) for two fillings, as well as scaling and polishing.<\/p>\n
Li said her face swelled after the procedure, and she had to take medicine to relieve her pain.<\/p>\n
“I sent a photo to the customer service, and they said I had an exposed nerve and arranged for me to see a senior dentist,” she added.<\/p>\n
Two weeks later, she visited the Mount Austin clinic and had her teeth refilled again.<\/p>\n
But Li continues to regret getting fillings, explaining that her teeth still feel sensitive and that she bites on her gums when she closes her jaw.<\/p>\n
“”I also want to tell everyone that travelling all the way to Johor Bahru for dental work, just to save money, might not be worth it.”<\/p>\n
Q & M Dental Group Malaysia told Shin Min that it values patient feedback and is committed to maintaining the highest standard of professional care.<\/p>\n
It reportedly said it will investigate and follow up with patient in accordance with its procedures.<\/p>\n
The group also said it cannot comment on specific details due to patient privacy.<\/p>\n
