Tunggul

“Persatuan Gigi Tunggul Tegar” kata one of my friend, Sar. Kelmarin Danish mengadu sakit gigi (actually gusi). Memang gigi depan 4 batang sudah jadi ‘tunggul’ menunggu masa mo gugur. Tapi punya lah hardcore tu tunggul, masih lagi ndak gugur2 walau pun sudah hampir 2 tahun bertahan. Dijadikan cerita, Danish was begging me to bring him to the dentist. Thanks to the teachers at PEKA, menanam sikap positif terhadap dentist dan doctor. In fact, lama sudah Danish minta bawa pi dentist, tapi Misako jak yang selalu sibuk dan… malas. Hehehehe.
 
Misako pun cuba tanya kawan-kawan mengenai klinik gigi yang pernah mereka pergi. Ada satu di Indah Permai, tapi Misako call berkali-kali tiada jawapan. Terpaksalah minta bantuan Mr. Google. Dapat lah beberapa klinik di KK. Sekali lagi Misako kecewa sebab kebanyakannya kena buat tempahan awal, dan sudah penuh sehingga next week.
Ikhtiar kedua, shout it at the Facebook. Nampaknya membuahkan hasil. Ramai yang bagi suggestion.
 
Akhirnya, setelah puas menelefon klinik-klinik yang telah disyorkan, Misako dapat appointment pada hari yang sama di Klinik Pergigian KK, Asia City.
Apabila sampai saja di sana, seorang gegurl tengah berteriak dan menangis. Bila keluar, masih lagi menangis kesakitan sebab kena cabut gigi. Danish yang mula2nya cool sudah nampak sedikit ‘sejuk’.
Danish: Kenapa dia ummi?
Misako: Kena cabut gigi.
Danish: Berdarah ka tu ummi?
Misako: Danish good boy, kan? Danish kuat bah.
Nama Danish dipanggil. Thanks to the nurse, she tried to comfort him. The dentist is really young. Dr Zarita start by asking friendly questions. Danish looks ok and told the dr. which part of his teeth yg sakit. Dr Zarita suggest not to pull the teeth because 1) gusi Danish bernanah, kalau kena cabut sure sakit. 2) It’s about time, ‘tunggul’ Danish akan gugur bila2 masa. So, no point of introducing him the ‘experience’ anyway.
I like the way she treat the patient. She advised Danish to brush his teeth and to drink milk from a cup, through a story. Ben10 and the giant ‘giuk’. Danish seems comfortable and agree to take the medicine after the Dr ask him.
In the end, no teeth were sacrificed. No feeling was hurt. It was a ‘happy’ visit to the dentist. Here I would like to share the phone number of several dentist around KK.
