Ok, here's a continuation of my tooth saga:
After my tooth came off, I did what everyone would do if you hold part of your tooth in your hand, I panicked.
Luckily for me, I met a friend on my way home one day, while he was going to the dentist to get his tooth fixed (I later found out that he experienced exactly the same problem as I did). I got the number from him and booked an appointment for the next day.
The following account makes me swear that British make horrible dentist:
The walk there was long. I just did my presentation and was in not-very-comfy-shoes. The receptionist told me it would be a 10 minute walk from campus, but wth, it took me over 30 minutes and I even had to half-jog the last 5 to avoid being late.
I kind of wished I hadn't make it to the appointment on time. The place looked like a horse shack. She spent most of the time while I was there fiddling with her computer, whilst repeatedly telling me there's not enough time to finish fixing my tooth. Fine. After she finally put in some fillings in my tooth, I found out that she'd put in too much filling that I couldn't close my mouth after that!!
'Could you check, cause I don't think I can close my mouth now'
'That is not possible. You are closing your mouth fine as I can hear your jaws clenching'
'It may be that I am not used to the new fillings, but could you check'
'I think it is your own problem' (Blame me for your own inadequecy?!!!!!!!!)
5 minutes of getting her to check later...
'Fine' She pulled out a thin piece of paper, and asked me to bite and hold.
The paper fell right out.
'Fine' and she started drilling away the fillings.
I went home thinking, well, at least the problem was more of less solved right?
Wrong.
I looked into the mirror and found our that she merely coated my gum with a thin piece of filling, not even attaching much to the tooth. In a few more days I am sure the filling is coming off.
I am sure an amateur dentist in Malaysia can do better.
Man I miss Malaysia even more now.
So to all of you there...
Happy Chinese New Year! =)
