Sudden Toothache

Earlier this week teeth feeling a bit weird, then yesterday got worse, whole night can't sleep well, really felt like going to A&E because quite unbearable, I ate Panadol and drank some alcohol and managed to fall asleep but didn't sleep too long, woke up super early, same time as daughter going to school.

Whenever I bite down, there is a sharp and long-lasting pain, very unbearable.

Waited until clinics open, tried calling a few but all fully booked, then walked to an area with quite a few dental clinic, just happened got this newly opened one, walk in only one uncle waiting, registered and didn't wait too long before the dentist called me.

At first I thought it's the one where I did my pulpectomy, after the dentist checked, cause of the pain is actually a long crack on tooth 37, asked me if I want to remove or put crown, since it's the last tooth (my wisdom tooth 38 removed long ago) so I opted to remove, because it's so far back that it's not obvious.

Dentist also mentioned that my tooth 27 is pretty much gone (tooth 28 removed long ago), cracked and looking infected, can review in the next few visit, most probably I will just opt to remove also, it's also far back and not obvious.

He also recommended to do root canal for the tooth where I did pulpectomy (tooth 35), I think most likely I will follow through and put a crown.

Cost today:

Remove tooth 37: S$162

Consultation: S$37.80

Package: S$135 (includes cleaning and x-ray so today x-ray no need to pay)

Total: S$334.80

Then Monday go back to follow-up and do cleaning, the cleaning no need to pay since I paid for the package.

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation ...
