It has been 10 years since the last time I went to a dentist. Earlier, I had developed a terrible phobia since childhood towards the extreme pain caused my those govt clinic's dental nurses. I swore that I would let my teeth rot and drop off by themselves rather than get drilled by them!
Well recently my wife hypnotized me to discard away some bad habits from my subs conscious. Not knowing that the process actually managed to successfully stop my snacking habits and even my lifelong phobia towards dentists! Voila!
A student friend who just enrolled to the dental school explained to me that they are always desperate to look for patients for their 4th Year practical otherwise they would not be able to graduate. Anay just pitied them and remembered my uncle who died in Bangkok & pledged to donate his body to the medical students at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok. I have blogged it HERE. So I am doing some charity too!
It has been many weeks when I would go to the torture chamber at their dental school on Fridays. They use the latest equipments!
They also use the best hi-tech gadgets like Star Wars weapons etc. There is also a mini screen monitor to view my tooth X-Rays! Goodness! I have over 10 BIG cavities to be done besides the full scaling, extractions and canal treatments. Sobs!
I would cry and had to beg for injections to numb all my gums otherwise my legs will rise up in pain!
Look at me getting masked like this every week for 2-3 hours! My lips would tear open and my jaws would ache! Thank goodness I have finished 5 visits and have another 5 more to go. It costs only RM10 registration fee per visit. So cheap and good! Would you like to be a Guinea Pig too?
No thank, Anay. I don't want to go, even if they give me free treatment.
ReplyDeleteEh! With money saved, you can shop more Cotton dresses!!
DeleteMy teeth is still alright. So far so good. No pain at all. Except I have a wisdom tooth, it grows out of shape. Dentist advised me to take it off long ago. Since it makes no pain on me, I just live with it until now. I won't want to take away my wisdom.
ReplyDeleteMost of my teeth grew all directions - Tong Lam Sai Pak.
DeleteI went cleasing and polishing my teeth yearly. The fee is charged into my husband's account, and he can claim from his company.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky. Jin Jin is like your ATM!
DeleteAnay, why you have to wear your PSY's sunny when you have your teeth treated? Going to dentist also you want to look like Gangnam Style.
ReplyDeleteThis is their standard procedure, all patients should be protected from their big glaring spotlights! They provided the shades!
DeleteSo good can blog about your dental experience. ;p
ReplyDeleteI am so transparent always.
DeleteI never had any phobia about dentists as I wanted to be one when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I wasn't smart enough for a medical course. That time, the only fully paid (i.e. sponsored study) that accepted me was TESL and IT. ;p
Thank goodness you never became a dentist....grrrrrr grrrrr all gigi hancur!
DeleteI just did three root canal treatments this year. The second treatment was actually done after my trip to Taiping. ;p
ReplyDeleteDentists sure make good money, Anay.
Aiks! 3 in 2012!!! What did you bite so deep until canal sumbat? Wakakakaka
DeleteRoot canal kena buat in stages lah Anay... kasi mati the urat slowly.
DeleteI got gum infection. It bengkak for the first time in Japan last year and bengkak again in August this year. So, kasi mati the urat lah... Teeth still intact though.
Anay,
ReplyDeleteI don't mind being a guinea pig. If they want another guinea pig, give me a call. heh heh
You can register and they will treat you like a Queen! 0165677130 Ms Leow is my Doktor Gigi.
DeleteMy current dentist is an ex-army Major. A nice, really soft spoken lady.
ReplyDeleteI used to want to study dentistry then enroll into the army. Why? Dentists can be an army captain. I wanna be a captain! LOL
Also, I did my Form 4 career assignment interviewing dentists and dental nurses at my hometown dental clinic. It was super fun!
DeleteNo fun I didn't get to be a dentist though. ;)
Form 4 and you became an interviewer! Why didn't you become TV host, pandai lawak ni Mak Rempit.
DeleteSchool assignment for the holiday mah... I miskin so only did interview and take photos.
DeleteSome of my friends taped their interview. High class owh!
Why? You never needed to do it at school kah?
DeleteGot career counseling some more last time at my school. According to the results, I am suited to be a photographer. ;p
did the doc asked u to wear shades or u were the one who in style? hehehehe!
ReplyDeleteThey gagged my mouth and blinded my eyes so that my tears could not be seen! They provided pasar malam sunglasses!
DeleteI have never been masked like that
ReplyDeleteThe masking is too costly that local dentists avoid using.
Deletei think most people are afraid of going to the dentist.. i just went once last year and once this year to get treatment for one of my molar teeth..
ReplyDeletei have not seen a dentist since my primary school days.. back then we have a dentist in school and we have free dental treatment, but everyone just freak off when they were the lucky one to be called to the dentist room.. i have my teeth filled back then..
Deletethat's it and since then i have not been to a dentist until last year.. one of my molar teeth is giving me problems and cause very uncomfortable and spiking ache.. and so i went to the nearest dentist in MV to get it filled.. cost me RM300 for that!! gosh, so expensive..
Deletei can say that the dentist was the worst i have ever met.. so rough and i don't think she has did a good job on the filling.. just a couple of months later, my tooth began to ache again and i can feel the filling actually torn off.. there goes my RM300 KNN!!!
Deleteso i went to another dentist and she told me i could not fill that tooth anymore cos it has cracked into two!! so i gotta have it extracted!! she was good, make sure i have enough of injections and numb enough so that i didn't feel her extracting my tooth out..
Deletevoila!! and with just a little bit of uncomfortableness, that split tooth was removed and i feel so good after that.. and it just cost me RM100!! KNN, if i knew that, i would just have it removed and save that RM300 charged by that lousy dentist at MV..
Deleteoooh, my nonsense is so long and can combine to make a post huh?? hehehehe..
DeleteI actually love those dental visits...
DeleteBecause no need to study. Just line up to see dentist and skip a lesson. **super like* hahaha
oh, regular dental checkup is good actually.. and i don't mind paying just RM10 for every visit.. i know dental treatment can be so expensive and dentists are making good fortunes of money!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha!! i just love that picture of anay opening his mouth wide.. this is the time when anay opens his mouth but could not talk!! hahahaha, great one!! :D
ReplyDeleteUsually it'll be Letchumi who opens wide. *wink wink*
Deleteso cute..opening your mouth wide and wearing the sunglasses! I always procrastinate when thinking about visiting the dentist for regular check-ups.
ReplyDeleteNever had this experience before wearing mask and sunglasses, that reminds me of MIB. Actually should follow MIB & should not let your wear the sunglasses so as to erase your memory and totally forget about the pain. hehe
ReplyDeleteBananaz goes for his dental check up every year usually in Dec, ah times up for my check up again. tQ for the reminder. Kop khun map.
ReplyDeleteWho will work on your tooth? The qualified dentist and surrounded by all the students for observation or the student to do the work?
ReplyDeleteMuahahaha! I was laughing all the way, reading your post and readers' comments!
ReplyDeleteI don't think this dental visit was hilarious but all the writing was too funny.
I got scared by the free dental service during my schooling years. The nurses came every half year and I was always the lucky one kena selected. And every time sure they did something to my teeth. Poor Ah Hua!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a teenager, my mama sent me to a dentist monthly to get my crooked teeth done, by wearing braces for 2 years. Which meant, dates with my worst enemy for 24 months!
DeleteBut I have no regret nor blame my mama because now Ah Hua has beautiful smile and not vampire's fangs. Ahem.
No thanks for the guinea pig post, I had enough stories on the dental chair to share. If possible, I do not wish to visit them but I need to do checkup annually.
ReplyDeleteOne of my tooth has a big hole and the dentist recommended me to do root canal, I've been procrastinating for almost a year already.
Annay is so kind to let the fresh and inexperienced dentist to molest your teeth. I lagi freak out!
ReplyDeleteRM10 is cheap, but I still give them a No, scare la.
DeleteEeeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!! That looks like Jason of Friday the 13th or one of those in those spooky movies!!!! SCARY!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate dentists with a passion, but ... there's another issue that's more important ...
ReplyDeleteWHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH TWILIGHT MAN? Who's this Twilight Anay? An imposter? :D
What does "Anay" mean?
you mean this one if Gvernment Clinic??? I got read wrong or not?
ReplyDeletewhat dental school? government or private leh? confused
