I woke up today at around noontime and my Mom told me that the dentist had scheduled an appointment for me today. I was notorious for missing all my dental appointments because they were mostly in the morning and I was always waking up at 2 or 3 pm. This appointment was over a month overdue so I just decided to go for it without complaints.
There was a new female dentist today; I guess she might be an apprentice/assistant or something as she was rather young. As she cleaned my teeth, she remarked that they were very dirty & unhealthy and reprimanded me for being careless about my oral hygiene (I attribute it to the fact that I ate lunch before coming; I always skipped my meals before a dental appointment so that food won't get stuck). Anyway, she soon left and the regular dentist came to carry on from there. I felt a little guilty and kinda took a hint from the lady dentist by purchasing a bottle of antiseptic mouth rinse on my way out.
When everything was over, I went to the 7-Eleven that was directly next to the dental clinic. I have made it a routine to buy candy/chocolates/chips after every dental appointment. I considered it a form of celebration for enduring the painful once-a-month cleaning session. I was checking out the potato chips when I suddenly spotted the same lady dentist in the store. She was talking on her handphone, so I wasn't sure if she had noticed me. I immediately dropped the idea of taking my time to shop for tidbits and went straight to the counter. When I made sure she wasn't looking, I quickly bought just one Mars bar and my 8-Days and left the store.
I gotta take better care of my teeth before I splurge on goodies again.
