My Tooth Sayang! Ouch ! Ouch! Ouch!

Oh Tooth Sayang !
Why are you so garang!

What have you been cracking?
That sent your walls wrecking?

Causing pain that stretches from jaw to ear
Turning the joy of makan into torture

Sayang, be prepared for this blow:
Your root and nerve will have to go
A protective crown will be put on but even so,
my sayang, your survival rate is low

Without the cracks, it'd be 90% success rate
Now, just a mere 50%, the rest is up to fate

I can't take it if an implant is eventually still required
I can't bear it, to see my sayang kena extracted

So, sayang, stand strong, beneath the crown
Don't add to my face another frown

Life has been frustrating enough
So, cells, organs, bones, teeth, you must be tough

Stay healthy to keep the docs and dentists away
Forking out the fees, sigh! is no child's play
Consultation & x-ray is $108 today
Pulpectomy tomorrow another $150 to pay
That's still not counting the root canal that's gonna be in $.??.K
Looks like my pockets too, will soon decay !


屋漏偏逢连夜雨
Lamenting while waiting in pain for 2hrs for pulpectomy, the pain relief treatment. Sadly after 2 hrs, i still don't get a slot. As i've got to get back to the dungeon, i''ve no choice but to go back for the pulpectomy tomorrow. I was told the earliest date available for the root canal treatment is one and a half months later and if i were a subsidised patient, i might even have to wait for a year or so!!! Looking at the number of people waiting this morning to see the dentists at the national dental center,(many are youths), i think an intensive education on oral health is urgently required in our school curriculum
