Sakit gigi

I have had this toothache that comes and go since a couple of weeks ago. When there is pain, I will not be able to sleep. When there isn't pain, I intentionally forget to go and see the dentist. So much for teasing my old pal Soy about gusi dia bengkak this morning and the possible reasons gusi dia bengkak :-), by afternoon that old toothache came back and this time with a vengeance. Berdenyut-denyut sakit.

I asked MrM to check if his dentist badminton friend's clinic is open tonight and his reply was "Bukak macam biasa". Thank God for dentists that have two clinics, one for the day in Seremban town, and one for the evening in Seremban 2.

My teeth dari kecik memang tak berjaga or just jenis gigi yang tak elok. At 16 years of age, I do recall one of my front teeth chipped sebab makan tebu. Those days my late father would be bring me to the late Dr Kam, and menggeleng kepala dia nengok anak teenager dia punya gigi muda2 lagi dah rosak.

So with the first three pregnancies, my rationale is that I always had leg cramps in the middle of the night, sebab musababnya kekurangan calcium, and sebab gosok gigi selalu loya nak muntah, so the combination of calcium deficiency and malas nak gosok gigi sebab loya cost me a few more teeth during my first three pregnancies.

So off to the dentist I went tonight after sending the kids to their weekly piano lessons. Rupanya gigi geraham atas when I thought it was gigi geraham bawah. So Dr Ferhat buat temporary filling, nasib baik tak payah buat root canal. Sakit kena bius kat gusi tu. I was thinking sakit beranak lagi teruk inikan cucuk main2 macam ni kan. Tapi sakit gigi jangan buat main.....Next week buat permanent filling. I may just do a bridge for gigi2 yang hilang masa pregnancy dulu2. Satu gigi kat Ferhat is RM650.00. Mine kena kurang2 empat gigi. Mang ai....RM2,600.00 nak buek gigi yo! Kenalah simpan duit dari sekarang. Sebulan save RM650.00, empat bulan later cukup lah. Kalau tak tu gelek saja credit card.

Ini dah lepas buat buat filling ni pun berdenyut lagi. Tapi agak2 bolehlah tidur.
