Hi all, want to take a look at my chipped tooth? Here's a closer shot....
Nowyou know why Mama was so sad.... ;(
Mama kind of bugged Papa to bring me to a dentist and even mentioned bringing me to a pediatric dentist. So yesterday, my parents brought me to the dentist at Yew Tee but the receptionist said I am too young and will not cooperate with the dentists and she suggested bringing me to a pediatric dentist.
Papa brought me to my pediatrician Dr Winston who suggested observing me first. He said if I keep saying there is pain, the tooth is shaky or if the tooth turns grey in a few days or weeks or if there is a gum boil, then I will have to see a pediatric dentist. If the tooth turns grey, it means the tooth has died and it might be extracted or if there is a gum boil, it means there is a fracture to the part of the tooth in the gum or something and the fracture has caused an infection to bring about a boil.
Mama called a pediatric dentist and the receptionist said for first consultation (chipped tooth or not), it will cost about $90 to $110 and the amount will increase depending on what needs to be done. That sure is expensive. Mama prays my tooth will be alright.
Don't tell my Nai Nai about this, ok? ;)

Oh oh...... hey i've got a friend who is a dentist.. but not sure if he specialises in pediatric clientele, you want me to ask?
Aww... How did your tooth get chipped, Daniel? Did it hurt a lot? Your mom probably got sad because it pains her to see her children getting hurt. Your dental bill must have been high. It would still be like that even when you're older, but don't feel bad about it. A high dental bill only means that you got something special done to your teeth, which implies that you have healthy teeth. And that's good!
