Lady luck must’ve been shining on me today. I managed to do 2 fillings at the Dental Clinic at Twin Tower Medical Centre (TTMC) without fixing any appointment. Apparently a patient cancelled her’s and I was at the nick of time to fill in the gap. Didn’t have to wait, awesome!
I am usually very particular about the dentist I see. First of all, the dentist gotta be a woman. One with a sense of humour is a plus! I remember undergoing a minor surgery at TTMC with Dr. Sharifah. It was nerve wreaking but she calmed my nerve effortlessly with her witty comments.
Secondly, I like a dentist who talks and takes time to explain my tooth condition. I usually ask a lot of question before and during the treatment to calm my nerves. Nothing annoys me more than a dentist who doesn’t utter a word and perform the job in ghastly manner.
Well today, I was hoping to catch Dr. Sharifah though I wasn’t really counting on it considering the fact that I didn’t make any appointment. So beggars can’t be choosers and so I went with any available dentist. And it turns out that the one and only available dentist was Dr. Su. This very young male dentist whom I swear upon the life of me, looks a bit like my first bf. Hahaha!
A part from the fact that he is not a She. He fits the bill of the perfect dentist. He asked me lotsa questions before looking at my tooth. (signs of a good dentist!) Took a picture of my tooth and showed it to me on screen so that I can see the tooth decay (whoa!) He then shared with me his diagnosis of my cavity, and what he plan to do.
And when we are done with the tooth, he checked all the other tooth and told me which ones needs filling. Professional giler! And top of that, he was so funny I nearly laugh my head off in the x ray room. After putting the film in my mouth, he conviniently walked out from the room without switching on the beam lol!
Its all good and I walked out from the dental clinic feeling like a million bucks. Now I can go backpacking with one less worry on my mind!
P/S: Of cause, all these comes with a price. A whopping RM210 for 2 filling and 1 x-ray.
