Dental Visit

I just went for a last minute dental visit today for scaling and polishing of my teeth. I hate having to book appointments because there are always limited slots available and by the time u got the appointment, u dun feel like going anymore. Well, it really takes the guts to go visit the dentist for me..:p Fortunately, there was a dental clinic near my house which does not have much patients and best of all, u do not need to book any appointment. All it takes is just to pop in at the spur of the moment and do your teeth. As usual, it was a painful experience when the dentist started digging at your teeth and gums to clear the "debris"... OUCH!! :((

I remembered that I used to be afraid of going to the dentist when I was a child. It was due to my bad experiences with the school dental nurse. My memories of the dental nurse was that of a fierce woman who wouldn't stop nagging at how we are always not brushing our teeth correctly and so on... At that moment, I just can't help feeling she's venting her frustrations on my teeth by causing so much pain... haha. However, as I grow older and understand the importance of taking care of my teeth, I will still force myself to go visit the dentist once in a while... :> Anyway, the dentists are not really as terrible as I thought.. well, at least they dun really nag anymore... :p
