Dental check-up

Posted by WELLA at Tuesday, January 22, 2008
The last time I had my dental check-up was last year before I left Pinas. My tita who's a dentist was the one taking care of my teeth. I still have another dentist, for emergency purposes. She's a medicard accredited. Sayang naman yung contribution ko kung di ko gagamitin yun. Today, I saw a dentist because of toothache. Im not sure kung may butas yung ipin ko kase very seldom lang naman kung sumakit. Since Im a new patient, they had me a dental x-ray. First time ko lang gawin yun. Di naman masakit, pero kangawit kase nganga ka ng nganga. Mabait naman yung new dentist ko. He explains to me kung ano ang mga nakita nya sa aking pearly whitey teeth... hehehe. Meron nga lang syang speech defect kaya di ko masyadong maintindihan. So akala ko 4 tooth ang bubunutin sken yun pla 2 lang. Ang masaklap eh may cavity na yung 2 molar tooth ko sa upper. Waaaaaa..... complete pa naman yung teeth ko don... I don't need naman daw yun. At yung sinasabi kong masakit, its not the tooth itself, its the gum. At no problem naman don kase wala naman syang makitang cavity. So he gave me toothpaste for sensitivity. Use it after brushing my teeth at night tapos konti lang and put it sa affected gums. So its payment time, wow... they charged me $242.00. Ayos! Buti na lang may dental insurance ako, so mairereimburse naman. I'll be on February for the extraction and di ko alam kung ano yung isa. Basta 2 appointments ko sa kanya this February. And they handed me the estimated cost for the operation... hehehe operation eh. Ay sus tumataginting na $1K+... di pa sure kung tataas or baba since estimated pa lang. Again, buti na lang Im Nikky's dependent sa kanyang insurance. Babayaran ko muna from my own pocket then saka ko marereimburse. Ok na rin kesa naman magdusa ako sa sakit in the future.

with free loot bag pa.

naku, if it's really bothering you, then go ahead, let them take care of 'em. kaso just make sure na talgang it's bothering you. kasi for me, hindi naman masakit but they said the filling needs to be replaced. after they removed the old filling, they said hindi daw doable kasi malalim na yung decay, then they end up putting a crown on it. first time ko ever nag crown. then after sometime, biglang sumakit... then they have to do a root canal. super bummer. i never got super scared of dentists until nung time na yun, grabs. lesson for me is, pag di sumasakit, leave it alone. hheeee.

anyhoo, hope you'd feel better soon. tc dearie!

oh, btw, yeah, super galing ng nag-isip ng tv ad ng monster... tuwang tuwa rin ako sa ad na yun, brilliant idea talga, heheheee :o)

actually ung 2 wisdom tooth na tatanggalin eh di naman masakit, kaya lang may cavities na raw baka maapektuhan yung the rest ng ipin ko. di naman daw kailngan yun. ay si nikky rin nagpa-crown tlgang napaiyak daw sya... nyiiiiii... ako pa naman mababa ang tolerance ko sa pain.

don sa tv ad, kala ko nga nung una movie eh...

cleaning na rin and i think pati ung xray kase SOP nila na pag new patient kailangan ng xray. pero mas malaki tlga ang bayad sa dentist kesa sa doctor. hehehe...
