Who's afraid of the big bad dentist?

I think i have a toothache...it's dull, achy pain and has been bugging me for at least a year. Some dentist had a look into my mouth months ago and he wrote me off as having psychogenic pain...i.e. it's all in the head. Last night the niggly ache was worse, enough for me to decide that something has to be done this morning. My courage has been further strengthened by Hajah esah recent visit to hers (ye la kan she who is scared of singa jadian and hantu paip air pun boleh berani gi dentist)Hence, i had some xray pictures taken of both sides of the mouth...tak nampak apa2 pun. You must wonder why the big fuss kan? Because....i'm terrified of dentists! My hands go all clammy and what i fear most is actually the needle! When i had labour pain, i thought it was the worst pain i had ever imagined...i didn't care what injections i had then and they were all into muscles (much more painful when the injections are into muscles rather than into veins i.e. like taking blood for e.g). I should have had my teeth checked and existing cavities filled then.

Anyway, i will just fill you up with some pictures while i wait for the nicest dentist i know here to come out of a meeting and have a look at me..takut!!

My two most manja kids. Yg si bulu tu pun tak mau kalah jugak. Mesti nak menyempit. Berat masing2 cam guni beras.
