the trip to the dentist story

Salam :)

i have had this gigi berlubang since i was in Standard 5,  i think. seriously. it doesnt hurt, thats why i never once go to the dentist before. Never. Once. ohh wait. ada sekali aritu. hehehe.

well my gigi berlubang started when i was in Standard 5. tatau la macamana Standard 5 and 6 aritu boleh lepas pemeriksaan tahunan doktor gigi yang tiap tiap tahun datang sekolah tu. when i was in sekolah menengah lagi la, there was no doctor at all. and since it didnt hurt, i didnt go to any dentist la. scary woooo nak gi dentist ni, with the drill and what not. i am not a penakut person mind you, but i really do afraid of dentist. i dont mind having stitches ke broken arm ke, but to lie down while dentist poke your gums teeth whatsoever? no, thank you.

then when i was doing my diploma, i had to bring my brother to dentist in klinik kerajaan. at that time i thought, while waiting for him, might as well i pun get myself a checkup, no? so off i went into the dentist clinic. honestly, i forgot how did it went. was there any pain? humm, i dont remember. it was all blurry. maybe it went horribly wrong thats why my brain blocked the memory to avoid the painful scene. haha. but the thing is, they did tampal my gigi, but the 'cement' came off weeks later. i called it cement, because thats what my parents and oldies called it. haha. i forgot the correct name for the thing but it is something that start with 'c' jugak, no?

later on, when my one and only attempt to fix the hole-ness in my gigi went down, never did i went to the dentist again. until about 2 months back, i had another cavity in the left side of my mouth. lets call this Cavity 2. Cavity 1 was at the top right. focus on the 'was' people. hehe. so what happen was, i had Cavity 2, and within 2 months it had turns into a bigggg hole which will capture ALL food that i ate. everything got stuck in that, and it has been my routine to 'clean' it up after every meal. this Cavity 2 didnt cause me pain as well. but it does effect my daily life. and Cavity 1 has been given me 'sengal sengal' feeling lately. alaa rasa sengal yang macam gigi nak tercabut tu? haa camtu la rasa. so last night, i just made up my mind to pay another visit to the dentist to fix the cavities.

so this morning, off i went to the klinik pergigian. it was still early, around 8.10, and i was the 1st one there. when the nurse called me, i didnt feel nervous at all. i just went into the clinic, answer all question that the dentist asked, do things that nurse asked me to do (close eyes, open eyes, hold this, hold that, etc), then voila, finish ! there was no pain at all. hebattt.

but the dentist only fix Cavity 1 only, i had to come back for Cavity 2. its okay, its not horror anymore, and it takes less than 1 hour of waiting and fixing so no biggie. hehe.

and now my Cavity 1 has been fixed, hope this cement will last and the food will taste extra nice. hehe.

p/s: it still feel a bit sengal when i touch it. will it heal? for good?
