Of Baby Tooth

Met a dentist through Gerardine some time ago when we went rock climbing and I asked her whether she knows of any good dentist around.
Recommended her junior..and I went to see her today. Not so much as a patient, but more of "case study" material.

In short, a guinea pig.

My case?Bleeding gums.Well,not sure whether it's a good news, but I have been accepted as her case study.

Anyway, she took X-ray of my teeth and showed me that I have;
a. 2 pairs of missing teeth on my upper jaw
b. A baby tooth!

Pretty surprising to me. Learnt that baby tooth don't have roots and mine may or may not fall out.hah.
I also have slight bone loss..but other than that I was told I have a clean teeth!

Yay! Clean teeth! That's something I've been immensely proud of. Hahah. Because in spite of my sweet tooth habit, I manage to keep them plaque free:)

Hey Chung Chin,

Jason informed me about your blog and this is the first time that I'm reading it. And I just thought I'd let you know that it saved me.

I just broke up with someone and I was going through a really tough time, trying to make sense of it all, trying to accept it and etc. Somehow the posts in your blog taught me something very important - it taught me to hope again.

Thank you. I hope you are doing well in Singapore now. :)

Wow! It's a huge surprise to know you guys actually drop in and take a look :)

I am glad somehow my posts helped, and I sincerely hope you are back on track and am OK now.

I am struggling to find my place and identity here, but I will survive :D
Hope you're doing great in Aust too!

And yup, I still have a baby tooth.Hahah.It's actually quite funny on the X-ray itself to see that it has no roots.

And hey Jason, if you happen to read this .. hello to you!

It has been so long since I last met you guys ..
