dental visit

first venture to a dental clinic outside of school - it wasn't as bad as people made out, in fact, the dentist was so much friendlier than the nurses you visited in your primary school!

ok, maybe that particular dentist was service-orientated, but anyway, it's my first visit in more than 2 years. i felt aches in the tooth i had filling before, so i thought it's time for me to visit the dentist.

had x-ray, some explanation on what happened and prescription of some medication. the dentist said that the pain might be due to the pressure on the nerve endings by the filling, or less probably due to gum infection. so the medication will put off the pain temporarily, for roughly a few months' time.

so ... 2 solutions are available - an extraction or root canal treatment. he doesn't recomment to do an extraction, 'cause the row of teeth might shift. so he recommended me to do a root canal treatment ... ok, i think 'cause that will bring him more money!! but well ... it does make sense - eating will no longer be that enjoyable when a tooth is being extracted, leaving a huge gap.

also other stuff, that's starting work at fort siloso @ sentosa. quite fun i would say, but the weather can be unbearable at times. the working environment is young and full of energetic, so i'm still trying my best to adapt. but i think it shouldn't take long, 'cause they made me feel at home whenever i worked.

nothing else already. 2nd week of school, and assignment and pressure are building up. and i'm having my mahjong craving as usual. lols. people, you know what to do when you have nothing to do in the afternoon =D.

bye bye.
