A trip down to the dentist

Hey guys it's me again! I am supposed to be studying now but decided to come here and blog about some stuff that happened like more than 1 week ago. It just suddenly struck me that i have to rant about this. Last week i realised that my teeths are bloody yellow so i got irritated and decided to make a trip down to the dentist. Went to some private dental beside my parents' office to actually polish my teeth and make it look whiter and shinnier. Since my parents always go to him when they have problems with their teeths and they said he was a nice person, so i trusted them. For your info, my teeths have always been done at Tan Tock Seng ever since i started wearing braces. So i reached the dental clinic and got down to it.When i entered the room, i felt so not use to it. In his room there's this small fish pond in the corner with water flowing down the small fountain, his dental chair is worn out, and the plate where you put all the tools looks quite dirty.Ok maybe not as clean as compared to the hospital's one. Like you know coz the hospital would always use a new pair of tools and sterilised it before using them. And i have to describe how the doctor looks like! He is a plump man in his 50s, the 2 top buttons on his shirt were not buttoned, he wore a high waisted black working pants with a belt around his damn round belly and he wore a pair of nua sandals. Most importantly idk why he smelled like pee!! LOL. Also, he only wore a mask around his mouth and he did not wear a cap on his head. I thought dentist must wear a plastic cap like showering cap one.NO? So a dentist actually look like this..Hmmmm. He got down to checking my teeth and he was damn rough! This is where the climax begin! He started criticising my teeths after 5 seconds of checking.Kaobei. He said how come your teeth like not in perfect alignment since u wore braces before? The front part of your teeth should come out more and not be so inside. It looks like the doctor had't finished his job. He told you he finished doing it? Next he proceeded to saying i've got decaying teeths so he need to clean and repair those teeth first before he can polish it if not it's going to bla bla bla....So he called my mum in and explained to her that he need to fix those teeths first. My mum asked so how many decayed teeths she has? And he replied idk i havent really count it, it's mostly in the back. Wa the way he talk ah...obviously i know he want to earn more $$$. While he's talking to my mum about it, i eye signaled to my mum that i dont want him to do it. I rather go back to my own doctor at TTS to do it. So yeah my mum got my hint and told him it's best that i go back and see what the doctor has to say. In the end, i make a wasted trip down. zzzzzzzzzz For your info, this private dental is not cheap ok! That time my dad repaired his teeth for $700 for some mere stuff lah like overpriced i think, and my mum's too. Plus this dentist, his pricing is not fixed one. If u didnt go to him for 1 year he will charge u higher and all. Wa daylight robbery. Don't understand why my parents like to go to him. He may be a nice guy, but it's so obvious that he is jian and wanna earn more, rather than put himself in his patients shoes.Tsk. Lesson learnt: I realised i always have problems with outside dentists. From now, I will always fix my teeth in a hospital. I feel so weird and out of place if it's not in a hospital. Furthermore, the hospital service, facilities and equipments are excellent la. I love it. Like i can safely leave my teeths in the hands of them. The doctors were all damn skillful and professional.
