Eirfan's 1st dentist appointment.

May 12th - 2009

Since couple nights back Eirfan told us that his had a cavity and his teeth is very pain. So I bring him to a near by dental clinic that applied for kids dental. The clinic here need to be booked first before doing any treatment. And for the kids below 12 years old, all their standard medical treatment are free of charged and covered by the government even we are non citizen of Japan. At first I was afraid that Eirfan will cry when we entered the treatment area. But he looked very cool and sit on the treatment chair by himself. After the dentist check his cavity, he said that it was a bit bad condition and he took an X-ray shot on that teeth. The result was a 50-50 condition but he said he will not pull the teeth out but if needed he will only take out the nerves of that teeth before fill the cavity. Luckily the cavity was not reach until the nerves but to fill the cavity Eirfan need to be anesthetize before start the treatment. But what was shocked is that the anesthetize shot also was not pain at all. Eirfan also was very cool and didn't cried at all. After his treatment finished, the dentist told that Eirfan also got some other tooth that need cavity protection. Most of them are small cavities and this mean that Eirfan need to return for this treatment every week until all his cavities are being filled.
Finally after what we promised to him before the treatment, we bring him to the Tomica Shop at Oasis 21 as his little treat for being brave during the dental treatment.

Being praised by the nurse.
