No pain, No gain

Smile 'R' Us Dental Clinic
20/08/2008



Today i have went to "One Stop" with my friends. We took bus there, so we had to wake up early in the morning. After taking ferry to Penang, it started to rain. I was quite regretting of not bringing my umbrella. We took another bus to 1Stop. Fortunately, by the time we reached there, the rain had stopped.

After that, we headed to our main destination - " Smile 'R' Us" (weird name, huh?) - dental clinic. Me and another friend,HQ had our first appointment with the dentist. We want to have orthodontic treatment for our crooked teeth.><. The dentist checked for our teeth and gave us some explanations that he needed to remove some of our teeth. It was lunch time after the checking. The clinic was temporarily closed and we went for our lunch.

All of us are rarely going to 1Stop, so we were quite unfamiliar with the places. We walked around the mall to finally we found a restaurant. We just had a simple meal there. After that we went to Popular before going back to the clinic.

My friend had her treatment first and I had dozed off waiting for my turn. When it came to my turn, I started to feel nervous. I never had my teeth removed since standard 2. I dare not to see the needle when the dentist started to inject drugs into my mouth. It wasnt just an injection, in fact, "INJECTIONS". I closed my eyes during the process and said to myself "it is going to over soon". After that, he started to work on my teeth!! He used a scissor like thing to remove my teeth. I had several quick peeks and closed my eyes again when he twisting and pulling out my teeth. Finally, it came to the last tooth ( i had 4 teeth removed). However, it was the most difficult tooth to be removed compared to the other 3. I clenched my fists when the dentist twisted several times the tooth before pullig it out. Phewww....It was over already. Me and HQ confirmed our next appointemnets before leaving the clinic.

We met the other before leaving the mall. Me and HQ actually had to "watch" our friends enjoying themselves in KFC, becaue we just had the surgery. I had not much to buy at the mall. I just bought a "pencil beg" and a phone top-up card before leaving.

I have to eat something soft before I can get used with the whole adjustment that had done in my mouth. I will only have the dental braces put on my teeth during my 3rd treatment.
