Just got home from my dentist appointment with my brother for my oral prophylaxis and tooth extraction for him and I am thinking what article can I write. But suddenly I think why not about my dental experience. But before that let me tell you about the dentist

Who is the dentist? The dentist is the professional one who taking care of our teeth and our mouth. Regularly seeing a dentist can help you to maintain a good level of dental health, which may have a direct impact on your overall well-being.

Some of the dentist task

1. Teaching people about dental hygiene

2. Removing build up or decay from teeth.

3. Reviewing xrays and diagnostic.

4. Giving anesthesia

5. Putting in fillings or sealants

6. Checking the growth of teeth or jaw bone.

Other people are afraid to go to the dentist. Yes seeing their materials and some paraphernalia like drills, scalpels and others makes your knees shaking. But please dont be afraid my love because they helps us to treat some problems in our gums, teeth and mouth. Dentist nowadays uses modern technology like xray machine, lasers and other medical tools which is I dont know what their name is, in performing medical procedures that why you dont need to worry about. They also wear protective equipment like gloves, mask, PPE and safety glasses to prevent the spread if germs and bacteria, to secure our health safetiness.

My first dental experience

I had my first tooth extract experience when I am 19 years old in one of the dental clinic in Alabang. Yes because I am brave that time I went to the dentist alone. I dont have any worries about that. So here it is. The dentist inject an anesthesia to my gums to start the procedure. When my lips and my mouth is numbed she started the procedure. At first it is okay but she cant get out my tooth. She found out that the roots of my teeth is intertwined in the next teeth which that teeth is good. It took time for her to get my teeth. Then after continues doing that I feel pain, it means the effect of anesthesia is gone but she asked me 'Do you want me to continue?' I said yes. So she inject me an anesthesia again for the second time. I started crying, yes I cried but I didnt give up. Luckily she got it out but my eyes is sore because im crying. She told me to rest for a while before I go out because other will suspected something wrong if they see me crying.....hehe

After that successful tooth extraction I went home. Imagine I travelled from Alabang to Batangas with my fresh tooth extraction. I am still on the bus when I started feel the pain but I ignore that. Imagine how brave I am that time.

My brother experience

But seeing the doctor doing my brother tooth extraction make me reminisce my past experience. Unluckily what happened to me also happened to him. I feel pity to him while the dentist doing that...The dentist ask me to decide if she will continue and I said yes but I asked my brother "kaya mo pa ba? kung hindi na ipapatigil ko ito, pero sabi nya kaya niya". So the dentist continue. She is our trusted one dentist thats why we trust her in doing that. And she is very kind. Maybe it took 1 hour before the teeth pulled out. The dentist show me the teeth why it is hard to remove, the roots is too long. The important is, it is successfully done. Thank you Dra for being patient and kind. She is so nice.

For those who can read this please dont be afraid because they are professional and well trained to do that. Yes it is hurt a little bit but its okay. Sabi nga nila parang kagat lang ng langgam....hehe...And that is happened only depends on your teeth. It is case to case basis. I did and for sure you can do that also. Sometimes it will lead to other diseases if you ignore your tooth decay.

It is advisable to go for a dental checkup every 6 months to maintain our pearly white teeth. Because beautiful smile makes a beautiful you.
