I am so proud of myself you know! I had the worse fear of going to the dentist and I finally gathered all my courage and went and had my rotten tooth of 3 years taken out! It's gross, I know! Wahaha!

My primary school dental nurse was the cause of my phobia of dentist! Until now, I can still remember the dental visits I had in primary school. Especially in Primary 1 or 2, the visits were very frequent. I recalled shaking in my seat whenever I saw fellow classmates walking pass the corridor with a yellow dental card on his/her hands and prayed hard that my name will not be called. And whenever I got unlucky, I would walked as if I was a inmate going for my death sentence! Wahaha!

The dental nurse had super tight curls and would wear a typical nurse uniform. She would scream at all of the students irregardless what we do or don't do.

"SIT THERE AND BE QUIET!!!!!", is all I heard once I stepped into the room, ALONE. (As if I can be very noisy alone lor, I was like going to cry liao!)

"Come here!!!!!"; "Rinse your mouth!!!!"; "Open your mouth BIGGER!!!!!!"

She was never gentle. Never caring.

I was traumatized.

So when I went to secondary school, I opt out for dental visits. I was so glad I don't have to go to a dentist anymore! But of course, now that I am older, I kinda regret not taking care of my teeth.

I hate that nurse.

Think my tooth was more like the on the the right!
Wahahaha!

Nevertheless, I started going to the dentist again! I am very happy I had taken my tooth out and going through it, although I did shiver til I almost puked! Haha! It was still a great relief for me!

In comparison, this new dentist I went to was so gentle! I will highly recommend him although the place's a lil ulu lah! I still think Dentists is a male job. Females are too rough for this! I will never go to a female dentist ever! Hahaha!!!!
