Went to the dentist at Epismile yesterday to get my braces done. The dentist there is so freaking nice okay. No offence, its much better than the one I have in school. She's damn rough. Since young I've always thought of dentists as tyrants. And I've held that view as far back as my memory goes. Maybe no longer though. My appointment was 3.15. Just as I was walking to the dentist clinic, I suddenly got cold feet. Dont ask me why. I have no idea. And in the spirit of cold feet-ness, I messaged shermaine, saying, " omg shermaine Iam damn sacred now." And in my fright I misspelled the word 'scared' for 'sacred' . As it turned out, the X ray showed I needed no extraction! Would you believe that! After weeks of brainwashing me with the pain of extraction, I don't have to undergo the pain at all! Bless the Lord:D Well at least, I may have a chance of pulling it off, but I guess if my teeth goes out of hand I'll still have to pull but am proceeding without braces for now:) She inserted some bright blue rubber bands in my mouth. And well, at least they felt like rubber bands when I was there. They dont even feel like rubber bands anymore. They've hardened to resemble that of plastic. No joke. Plastic in my mouth. Urgh. I cant bite or chew or eat anything properly now. Food that I used to love, ( ie. Cheese hotdog) has now lost its flavour. :( I cant tast very much with my front teeth, can i? And I cant find another space in my mouth which I can bite on without so much as a gasp. Alright. That's the bad news. And its hampering my speech too. I sound like I have a perpetual bubblegum in my mouth. shermaine was trying to imitate me today which was so not funny. It was so exaggerated. =/ Anyway. I hope it'll pass soon-ish. I do want to eat properly again. Eating is such a chore now...
