Where art thou "Tooth Fairy"? Part II......
Phew... What an adventure of traveling to and fro hundreds of kilometres just to get my tooth fixed.
The truth came out today during the dental visit. I went early thinking that I'd be one of the first to be checked. The clinic opens at 9am but the doc only arrives around 10. So, I went about 8.40am wanting to be the first. Surprisingly, there was a lady earlier than me. WalaWe!!!
To my dismay; those who were there to extract teeth or untie the dressing were served first. Apparently, those who went for filling are served later because it takes more time for the procedure. I wasn't on a mission for extraction or filling; I just wanted to check up on my wisdom tooth. So, I guess I'm automatically grouped with the "filling" people. Well, I had my trusted "Archie" comic with me while waiting for my turn. Hah, I finished reading the whole comic book even before the doc arrived. WalaWe!!!
I went in finally, around 10.30am. Aiks... What a long wait! There were lots of gadgets around the chair that I sat. Immediately, thoughts came to my mind that maybe he'll use all the tools just to fix my tooth today. However, he just used 2 simple tools. (one to poke and one with a little mirror) Before long, he gave the verdict. I wonder why doctors have to use body language before really telling us about the situation. He shook his head and told me that I need to surgically remove that "lil buddy"(referred to as new wisdom tooth) because it is growing in an angle that pushes the other teeth. Aiks...WAlawe...Shucks....!!!
To cut things short; I'm going for "surgery" next Wednesday and will be having 2 days MC. So, would be spending most of next week in Kampar. So, I guess the gruesome details would be exposed next week in (Where art thou "Tooth Fairy"? Part III)....Sobs....='(
Till then folks...
