I have to face the fact that I don't have the most perfect set of teeth. I have been going to the dentist since I was young to get it fix. Even the doctor then, Dr. Paul, had asked me to promise him half of my dowry because he had done an extensive work on my teeth (senang cite: from jongang to not-so-jongang). He even kept the original mold of my 'jongang' teeth to show it to my future husband *lol*. I dunno if the mold or even the doctor is still around now though...
So, after years had passed without visiting the dentist, I had a major tooth decay that needed a major treatment. A ROOT CANAL treatment. For those of you that are familiar with the treatment, you should know the cost of such treatment here in KL... RM300 for one root.. and one teeth has 3 roots.. Which in turn will amount up to almost RM1,000!
Luckily, there's a family friend who works as a dentist with the government clinic. Hence, he had referred me to a specialist in Hospital Jinjang (yes, you heard me rite... JINJANG!). Apparently, this doctor is one of the best specialist in town and is one of the most sought after dentist. Her calender is fully booked through out the year since last December. However, since the doctor friend of mine is her colleague, he had called in for a special favour. And she had agreed to see me today.
I didn't regret having to wake up extremely early today and having to drive out to Jinjang, a place which I am not familiar with for an 8.30 a.m. appointment. I didn't regret having to wait for almost 40 minutes before I was called into the consultation room. I didn't regret having to endure a typical 'government service' environment through out the 2 hour session. Nope, I didn't regret it one bit. BECAUSE at the end of the day, when the bill was issued to me, I only had to pay RM8 ONLY!!! No, you eyes didn't play any tricks on you and there's no typo error or missing zeros in that figure. The whole drilling, root extracting, x-ray-ing, plastering and other dental mumbo-jumbo process only cost me 8 freaking ringgit...! Kalau macam tuh buat root canal hari-hari osso can... :D
Now, all I need to do is find a cheap private dentist to do the whitening/scaling treatment pulak. All those cups of yummy coffee are causing my teeth to stain. Sampai one of the students pun dah notice. "Eii... teacher, why your teeth so yellow one? But only the top one lar.. the bottom one still white one.."... Malu ok...
Here's another thing to smile about... Someone gave this to me earlier this week...

Eh, I was told that none of the govt clinic does RCT (Root Canal treatment). I ada 2 gigi yg memang kena RCT.
