If humans were polyphyodont

Liong had an epiphany whilst brushing his teeth. He shared it with me:

"If we [humans] were polyphyodont, we [dentists] would not exist."

It is like thunder striking earth, a tornado sucking up a sheep, a gold fish tipped out of its fish bowl, a person being splashed by road-side water by an inconsiderate speeding car... what an epiphany.

I was reminded today of this incident by my patient. She actually said to me that if we changed teeth more frequently, we would not need to come to visit dentists. My passion will then die. My job will then not exist. My interest in this field will not have even be conceived.

The horror.

Aside from remembering this event, I did my first 3 surface adhesive restoration today. My patient loved it. She could not even tell where the restoration was. I was thrilled out of my shoes. It felt damn good. Seriously, f*cking good.

Another f*cking good event was that she did not even know I injected her with LA. She did not even notice the first injection, only when she saw the needle that she "felt" the second injection. The third patient to tell me I give painless LA. Now that's f*cking awesome. She actually told me that today was her first time experiencing painless LA, all other times were horrible.

That made my day. =)

Another up side of the week was that I finally got my new Threadless T shirts! The bulk order finally came along, and I got my 6 new shirts! They are all so awesome! There was even a dental related one... oh, the epicness of it all. =)

Sorry blog for not posting for so long, but priorities in life just makes things hard. Sigh. I will write more when I have time. I need to motivate myself to study more... instead of writing here though. Siiiigh.

Unless I turn this into a study space.
OK, eww.
No.

Hui Hui ^^b
