Well I'm feeling a bit upset tonight. But I've been meaning to write about my rm1000 tooth treatment so here it is..
Well for the past few days my tooth has been aching exactly at 3am for couple of days, so day 3 I went to see a dentist in this dental clinic I used to go couple years back. The doctor went and made me go for x-ray. He said he sees nothing out of normal. He could only offer me PCL for the aching part and I said it's okay then since 7 eleven is on the same row of the dental clinic. That costs me like rm100... I think...? Rm50 for the x-ray and the rest for the consultation..?
So I tried getting the former dentist (at the same dental clinic) and they say he now is only on duty every Wednesday night. So I booked an appointment for him, Dr. S. This time around the doctor examined my tooth and asked me to seek for the other dentist (mind you the last time I went there I was treated by two different dentists since both of them are expert for two different dental line (I think?). He performed some kind of sensitivity test on my aching tooth aaaaaaand looks like my tooth has looking gone :( Sedihnya I'm so sorry tooth :( I'm such a bad tooth-carrier.... :( The doctor was super nice and this time syukurrrrr the doctor didn't even charge me a penny.
So the third time I went to see this Dr. X (sorry I'm bad with names) and yup looks like I'm needed to undergo two sessions which should costs me rm500 for each session....... Since I was aching I said yes and thank god I did saved up some money for this purpose just in case.
The first session took like almost two hours. Dr. X was drilling my tooth here and there. I was being drugged for the purpose and even drugged twice since it seems to be my receptor couldn't handle the drug well so I was drugged for the second time in order for the drug to be fully functioned since the first time was insufficient. Dr. X asked me did it hurt, well I felt fine but I couldn't talk properly since my mouth was still numb.
So the second time was like only half an hour. Everything was done perfectly. Couldn't remember the details anymore lol. I'm needed to for another check up session after the RCT (ROOT CANAL TREATMENT)
And my boss later told me that he wants to belanja me half of the cost. Syukurrrrrrr god bless you and your family lah bosssss!
The check up day came. Everything went well and I was told I need tooth crowning but it will be done later if needed. I asked how much it costs. AND HE SAID IT WILL BE RM800. The first time I'll be paying rm700 and later during the second rm150. I was like whuutttttt. Ingat ada duit nak jatuh dari langit ke....... When the nurse in charge asked the date for the next appointment, she told me it can be done right next week. I was like "hehe.. memang lah boleh buat dah next week tapi duit tu I nak kena cari dulu.." and then I politely declined and told her I will call her later to set up the next appointment when I have the money.
Two weeks later and here I am trying to book a session at USIM dental clinic. Apparently they do teeth crowning but at how much the procedure would cost we'll see about that later. They need to look at my tooth first to decide. I just hope I will age gracefully and can live longer and can still live happily and healthily after doing the session conducted by dental students since I'm still single at 28....
Strangely I'm into necklaces, and rings, and perfumes, and pretty dangling earrings these days...... These things make me super happy these dayssss.. Oh, and also babies. I guess that's pretty much normal, I think? If it's not, then it's a new norm I guess.. with the covid-19 hmmm........
P.s. my little sister is staying with me. I'm super duper exciteddddd (but I'm also super duper worried about all the bills I am needed to pay now that I am staying at this new place....)
