Teeth@

Went to be bf's dental patient yesterday, its the Part 4 saga (meaning my 4th visit). Dad fell sick and took the day off, so I could not sit in his car. Took public transport to NUH: sigh I dislike taking morning public transport, its quite stressful. Anyway was walking down the stairs of overhead bridge when I began rubbing my eye. And there I was musing "What if I trip since my eye is blocked by my hand?" and poof! I misjudge the steps and tripped... Ha talk about talk becoming action. Its a small fall, don't worry.

Well Shicai diagnosed that I have pretty bad gum disease. Remember how in primary & secondary school, the annual visit to the school's dental nurse involved poking our gums till we bleed? I always thought the nurses were crazy. Its actually called scaling, a procedure to remove the plaque from beneath our gums. If your gums are healthy, you won't bleed...

Turns out that I was brushing and flossing wrongly. There are brushing techniques for children and adults. Since I was taught how to brush in primary school, I am still using children's technique. The correct adult technique is to brush at 45 degress to your teeth so that the ends of the brush will brush against your gums. Check out http://www.tutorials.com/08/0868/08683.asp. Its really important people! Make sure you know the proper method. (Why do you think I'm writing all these? Its for you to read and learn. I wouldn't want my friends toothless hahaha)

Yeah my flossing sucks too. I flossed to remove food stuck between teeth. What you should do is to wrap the floss around a teeth and bring it down into the section between gum and teeth. Read http://www.tutorials.com/06/0626/06263.asp.

Heehee I care for my friends leh. Oh btw we found ants attracted to the really expensive lingzhi we bought back from Taiwan. My mum was saying if the ants did manage to eat them, they will mutate and become gigantic ants... HAHA... cos' lingzhi is super beneficial to health...
