A Visit to the Dentist


Had an appointment with a dentist today. The last time I went for a dental check up was late 2005. Last year, I was contemplating of going but as I got bigger and heavier in my pregnancy, I decided to not visit.


I used to like going to the dentist .. until today. I never had any problems with my teeth and gums. But this morning's check up was otherwise. The dentist took 45mins to scale my teeth! It was not painful but my teeth and inner gums were so sensitive that I had to tell the dentist to stop several times. He discovered that I have a cavity but could not treat it today as my gums were bleeding so much. My ordeal is not yet over I have an appointment with him next week.


Meanwhile, he gave me some medicine to treat my gums and an interdental brush for me to brush in between my teeth.

have u been to the dentist lately czar? ah maybe u also kena interdental sebab pregnancy does wonders for your teeth problematic phase. When I was pregnant I did not go to the dentist this time sebab very busy and also perut dah besar duduk lama lama nanti belangkang sakit kan...
