Had mine pulled out when I was 5, coz my teeth weren't growing the right way. They've regrown, and my dentist said they look fine for now. Doubt i'll have to have it pulled out again.
I have about $400 cover a year (under Teachers Family Health Fund) until i turn 25, which takes care of two dental checks and any fillings i need. After a few years I'll have to pay out of my pocket. :/
I know right! Dental health checks should be part of medicare, or atleast we should get it subsidised.
No, thats not wisdom tooth. Dentists dont even know at that age abt wisdom teeth area as we get it when we r older. I cud be wrong.
Its good to know u r covered for it.
Yeah, its so stpd that govt treats dental problems as if its not part of our body. A 8 year old in NZ had this rabbit 2 teeth syndrome in top front that just kept growing and he can hardy shut his mouth or eat.. but govt dont cover his some $20, 000 operation so media showed the story and asked fo donation.. guess what? in 3 days they received $99, 000. I will post the story if i find it.
It was a huge debate.
