Ouch!!!

Another good point of going for this 2 months overseas trip requires me to pass the dental examination. This means overcoming the fear to see a dentist to do some serious treatment. Let's be honest about this, I do not have a good dental condition since I was very young, and I know this is potienial last stumbling block that I could face for my overseas trip. My worry was kinda realized when I first failed my dental examination the other day - today I went back for the follow up. Got 3 decaying tooth filled up and extracted one - haha the one which broke into half while biting pork which was cooked by myself many years back. Haha since that freak incident, I have refrained from buying pork when I want to cook myself.

The dentist is very funny, he knew that he is drilling near the nerve of my tooth, after asking if it is painful, he commented that he admire my resistance against pain. Damn. But all the resistance broke down when he adminstered local anesthetic before extracting. So painful that my tears almost come out.

Still oozing a bit of blood here and there especially just after having dinner. But I am gladful. The level of difficulty of extracting that tooth is actually very high. After the tooth broke, the two teeth by the side started to "shift" themselves towards the broken tooth, so the broken tooth kinda hide itself at the back in between the two teeth. The tooth is already dead but the difficulty of extracting is so high that at least 3 dentists have placed it as "KIV" over the years. But this dentist took up the challenge and got it out.

But most importantly, Managed to get the all clear for six months at the end... Should be all clear le for the trip. Haven pack my luggage through. First time travel - so i need to buy a luggage first. Haha.
