dental visit
tdy i was too free until nothing to do so i went to the dentist for a check-up since its covered in company benefits.. haven been to one since i grad from sec sch.. the dentist was quite nice n friendly.. unlike the sch dentist who always scold me for having dirty teeth n always dug the thing hard n deep into my teeth..
got another woman hold some tube-like thing which flush water out while the dentist cleaned my teeth.. felt a bit gross cos the water kept flowing out.. rinsed my mouth n got blood one.. -___-.. the dentist polished v hard.. think my teeth will b v clean afterwards.. den he asked me to rinse my mouth again.. this time i spitted something out.. i found it a bit weird cos i had brushed my teeth so its unlikely the food will b stuck in my teeth.. din think too much abt it.. den he said its finished.. 10 mins oni??
he said my teeth no big prob but its better to go for check up every 6 mths.. den i paid.. $50 for 10 mins of cleaning.. i think its v exp to me.. duno wats the standard rate.. walked out of the clinic n suddenly my tongue touched some grainy surface on my front teeth.. got a sinking feeling..
came back n looked into the mirror.. true enough my worst fears came true.. the chip on my front tooth had dropped out n it was the thing which i spitted out juz now.. KNN! the dentist polish so hard until the chip came off.. i fell down from my cousin's bicycle during sec sch n my front tooth hit the ground n became chipped.. luckily the sec sch dentist repaired it.. but now its gone.. teeth clean but chipped..
luckily my bf reminded me to ask the dentist for compensation.. so i went down again after fuming at home for a while.. showed the dentist my chipped tooth n he said "oh ya realli got a bit chipped.. i think most likely ur prev fix cant last long oredi.. i can fix it for u..".. i asked him if i need to pay.. he said no need.. ok good
so i sat down n he repaired it.. he said he repair it n i use it for as long as it can last.. if still drop out den need to use some screw to attach the extra chip.. the procedure was quite fast.. surprisingly.. i remember the sec sch one took quite long.. den he asked me if i use dental floss.. i said no.. oni to mentally say "oh shit i got use occasionally".. but wif his tool in my mouth i cant toke so i juz kept quiet.. i feel so stupid sometimes
he said its finished.. the grainy feeling is gone.. den he said i cant use it to bite.. har?! wats the use of having a front tooth which u cant use to bite.. i said my prev one can bite one.. he said its probably dropping off.. @#$#@$.. i asked him use screw cost how much.. he said 好几十块.. i tout oni 10+ so cheap? den he said mayb 90.. @#$#@$.. tat one is close to 100 oredi ok.. den he asked me to use it for as long as it can last.. duno if it will drop easily if i bite food.. cant test oso.. T.T
mayb one cheapskate method is to go polish every 6 mths n let the dentist make the thing drop off so tat he will repair it FOC n renew the chip.. im so cheapo
