30 Mar 2014 - Javier having toothache

Recently Javier had been complaining about toothache.  So I brought him to a dentist today for a check.  This is Javier's first time visiting a dentist and he was pretty nervous.

I thought Javier will "struggle" during the checks but surprisingly, he was very cooperative.

The check showed that he had about 4 teeth decaying.  One of them, which is the one that Javier was feeling the pain, was quite bad and may requires root canal procedure.  As there was swelling on the gum around that tooth, the dentist prescribed anti-biotics and hopefully the swelling can be brought down.  She suggested we come back for a review one week later.  If the swelling had gone down by then, she will try to "fix" the three decayed teeth and then refer to her colleague for the root canal assessment.

After the session, the dentist gave Javier a balloon.  Javier chose the pink color balloon and told the dentist that pink is his sister's favourite color.  Good boy, Javier!
