The dentist made him upset September 17, 2008

It’s his first time to face a dentist and his first time is pulling time. Yeah the dentist pulled his tooth because a filling can’t do anything. It’s all damage. As I mentioned before that we had set a dental appointment for Jover because his tooth already caused him agony and schooling was already affected. I just stayed at the waiting area with our little boy and then suddenly I heard a loud cry from inside. Oh dear, he was in deep pain. I was wondering if the anesthesia doesn’t worked on him? The session took two hours and it’s a long wait duh! When my son come out, that’s how he looked (the picture above) poor boy. He said it was so painful. Oh well, that’s what you’ve got for not being consistent in brushing your teeth twice a day. But at least no more pain after that. All we need to do is to prevent those nearly damage teeth. I was so shocked of how costly was the dental here. We paid two hundred bucks just for a tooth. I can’t believed it. But no choice. Another appointment was set for today just for check-up and x-ray and we paid a hundred. One more appointment was set on Oct.1 for filling of some of his teeth and I have no idea how much will it cost. Daddy need to work a lot for his dental expenses lol. I also set an appointment for me. A check-up and maybe cleaning. Daddy doesn’t want anything for him. Duh, he’s always like that. But, I will force him one day because he still have temporary filling that need to be changed permanently and I have one too.

I was shocked this morning because the teacher of my son Jover called.  I thought something bad is happening and I nearly fainted. Kidding! Oh well, it’s bad. You know why? The teacher told me to picked him up because he’s having toothache and he keep on holding his right cheek. He can’t study well of course. Who can if your tooth is aching? Toothache is such a disgusting feeling. A punishment to those who are not consistent to brush their teeth. Who’s to blame anyway? Sign…just stop blaming because nothing will happen. I picked him up and oh dear, he looks awful and nearly crying. His teacher gave me the number of the school’s dental clinic. Hubby set an appointment for tomorrow after lunch. I don’t know if they will pull the bad tooth out or they’ll just put a filling on it. Anything will do as long as the pain will gone. School performance is already affected. He’s complaining about it for the past three days but Daddy ignored it thinking that it’s not serious. Now, this is serious and tomorrow is the judgment day :D .
