Dental visit

9:41 AM / 1 comments

I visited the dentist yesterday... SCARY!!!

(I knew its not gonna be an easy trip, considering the fact that i have never really taken good care of my teeth all this while, and also i've not visited a dentist for like more than a year!)

Adhearing to popular beliefs, i have been told that the worst part of the dental treatment was the local anesthesia, when the dentist jab your gum, yucks! Well, i have proven this belief wrong! I didn't even know when the dentist jabbed me! The worst part was rather, the sounds of the drill! Wah lao, the dentist was more like a construction worker working on the new water fountain in Sentosa!

Water spray out from my mouth like nobodies business while the drilling went on and on and on... I was like "GOD HELP ME! I PROMISE TO TAKE CARE OF MY TEETH!"!

Luckily the clinic was kind enough to provide a TV above the dental seat, i was trying real hard to concentrate on the "Tian Wai Fei Xian" on TV loh!

Finally, after 30minutes of drilling, poking, polishing, I AM DONE! My teeths felt so clean and healthy now =) So relieved! Then i was in for another shock! $790!!?? Wah piang, so expensive ah! (I'm so poor now... don't ask me out guys, i m not free...)

$790 because i did a crown/bridge...2 fillings...wash/polish...teeth-colour filling colouring. I didn't know they can charge for colouring of the filling also O.O"

I promise to take good care of them from now on...

Lessons learnt:
1) Take good care of your teeths!
2) Brush teeths EVERYDAY (haha, i did that okie... i juz never visit dentist for fear of them!)
3) Visit dentist for checkup every 6mths, so that the "once-in-a-blue-moon" visit isn't as shocking as this.
4) Take VERY GOOD CARE of your teeths... (or extract them once and for all...yecks!)

(I wanted to post a picture of my teeths... But i couldn't get a good shot... Hahahaha... U guys are lucky...)
