New Experience

Recently I had visited my dentist to have a quick check on my teeth and then I made an appointment for scaling. At the appointed date, I had scaling and three fillings too. After that, the dentist advised me to fill up the space in between my molars. Implants would be too expensive. She asked me if I would like bridging or denture. So I thought bridging would be better as I had an experience before with denture many years ago. I didn't use it regularly and finally I had to throw away.

Then I changed my mind, bridging is very expensive too. I wanted to do denture instead as nowadays denture is the flexible type. 

So yesterday morning, I went to collect my denture..

The dentist just fixed the denture for me once and I practised once.
I knew how to do it already.
Very simple.


Back to the shop, my staff was using the walkie-talkie which the boss bought just 2 days ago.
I tried using it and it was fun!



Since I came back from work earlier, I took my son out for dinner at Moven Peak in Greentown.

Cheesy toast

Chicken King fried Rice

my plate of Garlic Butter Chicken Rice

I found it so uncomfortable to eat with my denture on..
I have yet to get used to it..

    It is very uncomfortable to wear denture at the beginning, it takes a while to get use to it..

    I prefer a bridge but my brother is a dentist and I can get it for cheap. I also have dental insurance at my job.

    Wah, look at your scrumptious dinner. So fast can eat hard things eh? I thought we need to take care the denture while we wear for the first time. Maybe that is why you felt uncomfortable.

    dental treatment can really cost us a bomb!!
    i had that extracted molar tooth filled before
    and it cost me RM300 for three holes!!!

    but it's frustrating because the filling didn't last
    couple of months later i feel pain again

  18. [SK]March 30, 2013 at 10:10 AM

    and then i went to another dentist
    and found out it was actually cracked into two
    so i have to extract it instead of getting it filled

    Long ago my father underwent open heart surgery and before he was wheeled into operating theatre, he was told to remove something. I was shocked and stood numbed. He removed his dentures of 2 front teeth!! Goodness I lived with him for over 20 years and didn't know he wore them. He kept it like a previous secret but here Wenn is sharing with the world. That was why I laughed today.

    I didn't know that a Walkie talkie is useful. My very rich friend carries them whenever he went overseas with his wife. He told me that they both always walked separately during shopping in big department stores in London or Paris, so the set of Walkie talkie came useful to contact each other rather than using their mobile phones. I thought the idea was brilliant.

      So I look forward to your coming posts telling us that you could use your dentures to tear a roast chicken easily. My parents in law are both in just their 60s but they wear full set of dentures, top and bottom. They don't have problem to eat anything, so I guess it takes time to wear it.

  30. munMarch 30, 2013 at 7:01 PM

    I am not sure whether the gaps really need to be filled or not. Yes, I understand the teeth will move if there are gaps between them but what is the rate of the movement? If the movement is very slow and takes many, many years, perhaps it is ok not to fill up the gaps.

    honestly i was thinking about that implant i guess it was the perfect surgery( if ever it was considered that way) for fixing teeth problem
    but then as you said it was expensive, and even for just a tooth?
    i probably go with denture too if ever needed

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
