And so...

I always dread this part of the year. Twice a year, I put myself through this torture and drag my feet to my dentist; just that it wasn't my dentist today. My gums have been painful since 2 weeks ago but I hadn't found the time to see him. I finally called the dental clinic yesterday but learnt that his next free slot is next Thursday. I had no choice but to use the other dentist since she's free.

During the treatment, I wondered why I didn't go to her before. She's much gentle than my other dentist. So motherly and patient. I think I will probably go back to her the next time. I saw the dentist's x-ray machine for the first time in my life! It's cool because the x-ray came out in a matter of minutes. She wanted to check for cavities but thankfully, it was just a gum infection. I should start flossing religiously. Lazy lazy me. The X ray cost 20 bucks, the injection 10, the standard cleaning, scaling, polishing 60, 5 for the mouthwash ( which I never use but I didn't dare to tell the receptionist because the last time I did, I got nagged).

Anywayz, MOE only subsidies 80 bucks per year for dental. My average dental fee is $60 x 2= $120. I have to top up another $40. Quite sad Hor. Why a long post about my dental visit? Because my gums are still swollen from the injection and treatment and I am quite bored sitting at the salon recolouring my hair. I also hate this part of the year especially when I do both coloring and rebonding together. 5 hours in the salon!! That's another story I shall tell another time. Gonna read the papers Now.
