The time has finally come, after our JB holiday and all the feasting. I told him that I must take the before and after pictures.
Our appointment was at 3pm and there was barely any wait. We were 1st told to choose the color of the braces. Apparently, his friends had advised that he should opt for a dark color, so that it would contrast against his “not so” pearly whites. We chose blue bcos the blue is so nice.
I entered the dentist room together with him. The dentist said that bcos his upper teeth totally overlaps his lower teeth, the braces have to be put on in phases. Dr Julia will do his upper teeth today and the lower ones in the next appointment. Otherwise, there is a possibility that he would bite off the lower ones. We were absolutely fine. He has 1 to 1.5 years time anyway. Haha.
We were told that it would only take 30 mins. Zaky must be very nervous, I only got pictures of his very tense feet. Haha.
It really took only 30 mins. Tadah!
The blue is very nice.
Zaky said that it was only slightly painful. The dentist also instructed on how to do his teeth brushing and also to eat soft food. The pain intensity grew as the day progresses. I think Zaky wouldn’t be able to take hard food even if he wanted to. He had porridge for dinner, though it wasn’t his favourite. Then he made us buy him new tubs of ice cream. Ice cream would be his supplement for the next few days.
On Sunday morning, he was hungry and I cooked him crushed maggie mee bcos it would be easier to eat.
The pain had intensified. He was hungry but he was in pain and had to eat very slowly that he got tired of eating and couldn’t finish his food. He eventually decided to skip church bcos lunch would be a pain and he has tuition trial class at 1pm.
I found him lunch - macaroni fried fish soup from the kopitiam. That was a good lunch. He was hungry and he could eat the macaroni, so long as he didn’t have to use his front teeth, which were the most sensitive. I had to cut the fried fish into tiny pieces and I bought you tiao, which were also cut to small pieces and soaked in the soup. I got reminded of the days when the kids were toddlers. lol.
We visited my brother’s place in the night for dinner. Popo made us popiah.
Nana was happily feasting while Zaky had to tear up the popiah skin into tiny pieces. lol. He ate little compared to what he usually would.
He said that the pain was almost non existent while not eating and we all went to play Vball and badminton after dinner. Even the doggies. Hoho.
Nana is getting very good at Vball ah.
Zaky went to my brother’s place for dinner last evening, a practice that he kept even after ah yee and A went home. Popo is also very pleased to see and cook for him. He had already told Popo on Sunday night that he wanted porridge. Of course he gets porridge. Popo even made him macaroni soup to be tabaoed home for tonight’s dinner.
He said that the teeth are in slightly lesser pain. I am so glad that we only did the upper teeth this time. I don’t know how he would eat in 6 weeks’ time after the lower teeth. Hahaha.
