Kids dentist in Singapore Part 2

Today we took my little darling back to GPA Dental to see Dr Jason because I felt that the abscess was returning. Despite the fact that Dr Shafiq from Q&M told us that it's ok and the medicine he put in the tooth would make it better over time. I am super glad to have listened to my Mother.s instinct or intuition. For days I had kept on checking her tooth and I really didn't feel right about it. Dr Shafiq had assured us that it'd be ok till after our two week Holiday. When we saw Dr Jason we found out what a botched up job Dr Shafiq did. Not only was my little one traumatised by his very bad treatment of the situation and what I can only perceive as inexperience, but upon further checking, Dr Jason said there didn't seem to be any medicine inside the tooth that was supposed to treat the infection!! WTH! I couldn't believe it and it also turns out that the pulp wasn't cleaned properly during the so called baby root canal! To add further disbelief, we were really shocked to find out that a stainless steel crown isn't necessary on her since the tooth isn't damaged!! How could Dr Shafiq have been so wrong in his approach to her case??? You should've seen the look my husband and I shot each other, it was shock, disbelief and relief. I really really thank God. Maybe in some way through C's ordeal, we were able to find the best treatment for our child. God knows how everything would have turned out had we let him continue treating C. It makes me so mad to know that medical professionals whom we put our trust in actually in the end can't be trusted. How are we supposed to be able to discern what is right or wrong? So here's a warning to other parents looking for a good dentist for the kids. Do not go to Dr Shafiq at Q&M city square. Go to GPA Dental, it's worth the extra penny you pay. Money you can always earn but the trust of a child can be crushed with just one visit to an inexperienced dentist and may take many years to rebuild.
