todae when most are still asleep, i'm already up by 6am...argh..coz of mi mum lar! she tot i was late and kept trying to wake mi up and as a result; i din even haf 4 hours of sleep lar! was rather grumpy but yet looking forward to mi dental attachment at NUH!!
Reached there at like 7.45am when mi attachment starts at 8.15am all thanks to mi dear mum hu made mi punctual man..haha went there and soon another ger by the name of pei yuan from acjc joined mi..well, quite nice toking to her and sharing bout our jc lives, our cca and wad ignited our interest in dentistry and i am relly amazed by her portfolio of attachments man..she had a few days attachment in a dental clinic in thailand and a 1 week attachment at ndc this year..wow! relly nice man..
Anywae, we spent the morning observing the final year students treating their patients and i'm rather impressed because they relly seem veh confident of wad they haf to do and stuff already and it's relly veh impressive. There's paedodontics which is dentistry involving children. The doctor in charge of all the students is juz sooo good wif children man tt i haf to hand it to her..she managed to coo and coax and praise and juz say lotsa niceties to a little ger and tt little ger was juz so cute..but my my...children nowadays are getting tooth decay at a veh veh young age...
There's restorative dentistry which i tynk will be one of mi most challenging since it involves the making of dentures and it's relly veh veh difficult because the angle of the dentures and the degree and the habits of the wearer play alot of part in how the dentures are made..and of course the dentures are hand made by the students, and pple like mi hu hates art since young and can't relly do work wif mi hands is sooooo relly gonna be in trouble man..we went on to tok to the other students there and they were all veh helpful and tried to explain as much as they can to us...nice pple man..
One of the students did something tt even the professor-in-charge felt was a veh difficult job. His patient was a malay patient hu cracked her tooth relly badly..and this student, first time in his life facing such a case, started to build her tooth using some kinda polymer material tt even matches her current teeth colour and relly..it was so beautifully constructed tt i am relly relly speechless..it's too nice and it was even nicer than her tooth originally b4 it cracked...
ok enough ranting bout the quality of students there...oh yar..btw, the students there have a fixed quota on a number of patients to treat in their final 2 years and guess wad..they haf to find their own patients man..wow..relly hard man..
Had lunch after tt and there it was observation of doctors hu have graduated and they were relly veh pro though the session was not as fun and interactive as the morning session. Saw extractions, orthodontics, scaling of the teeth polishing, root canal etc and now i knoe wad they did to mi teeth when i was in primary sch man..and of course wad they used to probe mi tooth when i was on the root canal treatment..wow man wow!! i'm juz so fascinated by the world of dentistry minus the mugging part..i mean the practical part and hands on sessions are juz so fun and so challenging!! i can't wait man..i relly can't wait!!
Day two tml!! hope i will do well man! hai..to bad it's only a 2 day attachment..hope i relly enjoy miself loads tml!! =)
