GIGI

it's not about the Indon band GIGI but about my gigi la

Finally i went for a scaling, thanks to dear Hubby for dragging me
Nervous tau. It's been a very long while...

Doc Ainuddin, that was the dentist that on duty. I've been expected some comments from him by knowing how bad my gum is which eversince pregnant i've been facing with this gum bleeding and bla bla. And yes, he commented that i have a serious plaque problem. Yeah i'm aware of that doc, thanks for telling me again.

being a good doc to his patient, he did briefed me on few of the things that i should know about taking care of your teeth, during pregnancy :-

-If your gum is bleed, it shows that you're having a problem wt your gum. It's either the gum swollen or there's an infection going on

-If your gum is bleed, KEEP ON brushing your teeth. DO NOT stop. It will somehow help to remove all the plaque that been stucked. The bleed will only last a while. No worries

-Ensure that you use an antiseptic mouth to gargle eg : Listerine, Colgate after brushing your teeth. Use it AFTER u brush your teeth ok

Ok now the scaling process begun

Urgh, i  freshly remembered how the sounds of that scaling been. It's me-ngilu-kan. Very.. when it reaches at certain part that need to be sental all the plaque, especially at my bottom teeth. Sungguh tidak selesa. And i can feel all the dirts been thrashed out from my teeth. Bleeding?Oh definitely.
banyak ok.

Once the bottom part done, then my upper teeth pulak. Aiyo.. Seems like it took ages for him to finish. But best thing is he sorta treated me like some kind of a little girl. Why?Sebabnye, whenever i felt the pain, i will raised my hand or made a pain sound and he will said
"Oh sorry darling"

"Ok, u just hang on there a while", 

"Ok, good girl",

"Ok sayang, tahan sikit yer. Sikit je lagi nak habis", 

"Good, brilliant and we're done "

He also brushed my every single tooth with this special-strawberry-taste tooth paste. And he said, it doesn't matter any tooth paste you used, but the brushing techniques is important and don't forget to use floss.

Ha, guna floss. I mmg surrender. Mmg tak reti nak use floss. Selalu tgk my dad been using that, tapi i don't plak till doc mentioned it tadi. Aiyark

And once ended, he made me promised to him that :-

-Please ensure that you brush every single angle/part of your teeth. Doesn't matter if it takes 2-3 mins to brush, but pls do clean all parts, at least twice a day or the best way, after every meal

-Once finish brushing, use your antiseptic mouth to gargle. (this is the correct way of using it. Brush first then gargle)

-to visit dentist every 6 months to avoid the plaque problem. Don't wait till it get worse.

-Whenever you're pregnant again, to visit dentist at every trimester. brush your teeth regardless of your gum is bleeding or not. Use floss if can

So dengan ini, saya telah belajar cara-cara yang betul utk membersihkan gigi.
Actually, it's antara rajin & malas je nak buat kan. But i think it's time for me to be serious on taking care of my teeth. And so do you readers

And i went home with a cleaner teeth =)

to use this for the next 3 days then continue with others
