Part of growing up..

Dr. Darren in action..comforting Ruth with his stories before pulling the tooth

waiting for the moment..I told her to smile but in vain..poor darling

Ruth was in the dentist again this morning for the same reason as the 1st time, for her lower front showing a new tooth coming out but the baby tooth still very much 'alive and kicking'. We had no choice but to remove the 2 front baby tooth to make way for the new tooth to grow freely lah..So we brought her at around 9am to a dental clinic in Foh Sang, Luyang. She looked abit worried and I told her its gonna be ok than the previous. After registering her name in the reception, she was the 4th patient for the morning. Accompanying her sister, Cynthia looked so excited as every time patients coming in and out from the doctors room, she will stand and said, 'nah..Ruth your turn' which agitates her sister. Finally by 10am, her turn to see the attending doctor (Dr. Darren). Saw the nurse rubbed a cream on her lower front gums and Dr. Darren explained the cream will make the next procedure(injection) alot easier and painless..hmm..I was never done that when I was a kid..I could only remember so much pain and tormented some more..eehwww

Procedure took about 20mins including numbing the gums, waiting for the right time for injection and pulling this 2 small baby tooth.

The 2 baby tooth, bye-bye tooth..I was almost to tears :-p

Brave girl, she didn't even shed a tear
