I went to school today…

I went to school today to treat kids. 8 years old kids and I was traumatised at the end of the day!!! People always say kids scared of dentist. Actually, today…I am more scared of the kids than they are scared of me. Urrghhh!

As part of my oral hygiene cycle, I have to visit a school, make dental examination on the kids and apply topical sealants on their teeth if necessary. I went there yesterday to examine them actually, and today for treatment. Scary….the thoughts of me making a mistake or was rough with them, they cried out their lungs…then my teacher will scold me or worse, the angry-looking parents coming after me for messing with their kids. Luckily, none of these happened…phew! But there is this kid…haiyoh~! She gagged at the crucial point of the treatment. I dont know whether she is for real or not. Well, I dont think so lor since I did nothing that can make a person gag! All I did was isolate the tooth (back tooth) from saliva – meaning putting cotton swab around it n she just have to keep the mouth open. N I just have to clean the tooth surface, put some medication and lastly the sealant – a thin film on the tooth surface.

Well, at the end…thank God nothing bad happened. But I swear I will never specialize in children’s dentistry.

Just a fast update on today’s events before i forget it. Kinda in a mess now with stuff esp studies.
