Smile babe!

It just feels totally different after a thorough shower as it flushed away the stickiness that stems from our bad weather nowadays, from being like a pig in mud, i am now so refreshed! having a mouthful of homemade pencuci mulut (thanks mom, muah!!), tasting the smoothness of compound yielded from blending mango and ice together, yummmmmmmmmmm!! (yes u can call me glutton ;P)

Who doesn't like white and bright teeth? So there came another patient the otehr day coming over for whitening. The procedure went like.... applying some kind of red colour semiliquid (the oxydizing agent which lightens the shade of tooth) over the teeth with another blue one at the edge, as if putting cream on cake :D then shine curing-light onto it for almost an hour. Was total fun assiting throughout the dental procedures, jz that neckache followed after that since we had been keeping the light shone as close as possible to the teeth, 3s per tooth (>3 will cause sensitivity), bore in mind that the tip that emmits light never touched the teeth/semiliquid. The patient was adviced not to talk throughout the process to reduce saliva production and to make our life easier 'cz at intervals we needed to keep the patient's mouth dry using suction, at the same time made sure the gel didn't come into contact with his gums. After all the shining and sucking, remove the semiliquid. So for the following days the patient shouldn't take any highly-stained food cz the colour of teeth aren't stable yet and they are pretty liable to colour absoprtion.

Right after my work finished that day i saw this patien
t talking to his friend right outside the bank, we greeted each other, and yes, he looked confident with his smile now! *shielding eyes from bright and shinny teeth*
