a journey of a starless night

today, i had pedodontics session in the morning and afternoon
for morning session, i had adam as my patient
he is still as cute and as chubby as before
i told him that i adore him
hehe

i didn't expect to do extraction on him
but considering the symptoms he had, there was no other choice
extraction was the perfect solution

so, i told him that i was going to remove that bad tooth
he was okay at first
i gave him local anaesthesia
he sat very still and didn't complain of pain when i inserted the needle
after few minutes, when i wanted to extract, suddenly he said he didn't want to extraction today
he requested to remove the tooth tomorrow
i was, "huh?dah kena inject baru kata tak nak cabut gigi ke?"

and i spent almost 30 minutes to convince him
we were looking for his brother at the waiting area but he was nowhere in sight
i called his mother and told her the situation
his mother asked me to remove the tooth today
then, adam wanted to talk to his mother
i called her again and let him talked to her
at last, he agreed

less than 5 minutes, the tooth was removed in one piece
and he didn't cry a bit
that makes me love him more
;)



and for afternoon session, i had hazim
same thing happened
i didn't expect to do extraction but i had to
the child wasn't prepared when i told him that i was going to remove 3 of his teeth
he was okay at first
when i was done with restoration of his other tooth,

hazim: kak, cabut gigi lain kali boleh tak?
me: eh, kenapa?
hazim:sebab gigi dah banyak kena cabut
me:oh, okay.hazim nak cabut bila?
hazim:khamis
me:khamis minggu ni ke, minggu depan?
hazim:minggu depan la
me:okay :)

i gave him the power to decide for himself
it is at their age they learn how to take control of their decision
by the way, he is only 11 years old
