As usual, I went to the clinic at 9am until 5pm. At
10am my mom and I had cleaning appointment in that clinic. My mentor is also my
dentist. So my mom went first, and I started observing her. She had an x-ray
first before they start. My mom wears dentures both top and bottom. I realized
that wearing dentures is hard because when it breaks, you need to buy another
one. Maybe one of the reasons why I want to be a dentist is because I want to
help my mom with her teeth. My mom wants to have an implant or a bridge for her
teeth, but she could not get one because it is too expensive. I’m thankful because
I grew up having a dental check ups. When it’s my turn, I saw my x-ray and my
teeth are so big. My mentor was cleaning my teeth and he told me that I need my
three wisdom teeth to be removed. I felt nervous, but my mom told him that we
might do it on summer time. Because my teeth are big, there’s no space for my
wisdom teeth. When my wisdom teeth come out, my teeth might get crooked. My
mentor told me that my teeth don’t have cavities and that’s good! He also told
me that I have to floss, because he saw some bleedings in my teeth. After my
cleaning, my mom went home and I stayed there to finish my observation.
Observing was fun because I learned new things about teeth. I cannot wait to be
a dentist.
