Dentist

Went to the dentist this morning... took a few hours off work. my usual dentist did not open today... hmm, wonder why... anyway, there's plenty of dentists around in DU area... hop to the next available one down the road. (think the rate i go, i think all dentist in DU will have my dental record somewhere).

Doc found a small cavity. Other than that, she gave me this aunty/mother look for not brushing my teeth correctly. ouch... felt like i just got slapped on the wrist for not doing so.

Why am i making such a big deal going to the dentist... uhm... probably coz the last time i went to one for my supposedly semi annual check up was in year 2002. Oh well, still better than a lot of my friends out there who hasn't been to one for ages.

A quick survey at work... Wan's last dental visit was when he's still at uni (he graduated some 8 years ago).... Selva's last visit was 10 years ago... Amin refused to say when he last went to one... my boss thinks that dentist are crooks and will drill good teeth so that you'll go back to them soon...

Perhaps it's the cost of going to a dentist which puts so many ppl off going ... i mean, my session today (1 small patch, some 'scaling' and some anaestatic jab) costs me RM210. and to make it worse, i can't claim that from my company wherelse i can go to the medical docs for almost everything.
