Dental Appointment 1:06 PM

As I have to clear my company dental claim by the end of Sept, I decided to go Raffles Dental. Reason because it's nearer to my home. Though it's priced much steeper than other dental but since I've so short time left for my dental claim, I can use all the money for this single trip.

It has been a long time since I last went for Dental appointment. :X As told, it only lasts for around 30min. But it was the 'longest' 30min I have ever experienced, it was almost unbearable.

I had a short (~5 min) consultation session. Used the opportunity to tell the dentist that I have a chipped tooth but luckily he said it was just a small chip off, it's not necessary to fix it.

Then I had the 'long' Scaling & Polishing session to remove hard tartar on my teeth. The dentist had to use something (I could not see the tool he used at the lying position) to keep scraping off tartar from my teeth, then floss and finally polish my teeth. I can feel as if there are needles keep popping my gum during scaling. He oso had to force the floss in between my teeth.

I had to keep my mouth open for a long time throughout the session. The dental assistant had to use a tube to suck out my saliva so I dun have to keep spliting out my saliva in between the session. I dun remember having to open my mouth for so long in my past dental session during sec/pri school. I usually had time to rinse my mouth during interval. But this time, I dun even need to rinse or split because the assistant will suck out my saliva for me. It was really terrible to keep my mouth open for such a long time. :S

Only after Scaling and Polishing, I can have good rinse before Topical Fluoride which helped to strengthen my teeth. As I rinsed my mouth, I could see blood(from scaling n polishing) around my rinsing cup. For Topcial Fluoride, the dentist gave me a rubbery thing of the shape of teeth filled with Topical Fluoride. I have to bite it for 2min and after which I cannot rinse/drink for half an hour. The rubbery thing is a bit too big for me to bite on. And it tastes awful.

By right, I will have to go back every 6 mths time. And since it's paid by my company, I should fully utilised it. But now my teeth feel weird as if they are not mine anymore. haha~ And I scared of having to go through the rough scaling session again. Won't it damage my teeth having to scrape so hard? But if he didn't scrape as hard, it might not be able to remove the hard tartar...

Just like facial, need to go through extraction. Dental, need to go through scaling... For my own good, I should go. Only thing about facial is that I can distract myself by talking to the therapy. Dental, I cannot do anything... Anyone knows any handsome dentist who can help to divert my attention? haha~ :p
