Ashley’s front tooth has been rather loose and it will be a matter of days before it falls off. On Saturday evening, it started bleeding profusely. I think Ashley could have moved it too much. I tried to pull it out but couldn’t. Maybe I didn’t try hard enough. Then I tried to stop the bleeding by asking her to bite on a piece of cotton but it didn’t stop either. So we had a little drama on Saturday night. We went around looking for dentists but they were all closed as it was already 6.30pm. Hubs suggested that we go to a hospital and so we went to the A&E in Assunta Hospital. Missy was very excited because she got to sit on the hospital bed and checked by the doctor. I think those previous hospitalization stay didn’t terrify her.
Nurse Florence took a look at her tooth and pulled it out within seconds. Then the doctor came to check her tooth and all is well. I got a shocked when I went to the cashier to pay for the services. Total bill came to only RM3.90 for medical record. The doctor did not charge us anything. How nice huh? After paying, we went to the 7-11 store located inside the hospital and bought some chocolates for the doctor and Nurse Florence to thank them 🙂
Missy with one tooth less.
When she got home, she took out this little Tooth Fairy box which my dear friend gave her recently.
placed her tooth in the box
and she even wrote a very short note to the Tooth Fairy and placed them on her bed. Missy received RM5 the next morning 🙂
Ashley is so brave. My boy cried whenever he saw a doctor or nurse.
hahaa…he will be better when he is older. Ashley used to cry when we step into the clinic.
Ashley is a very brave girl indeed! When u said drama, I thought she cried and screamed but it was the opposite! 😀 So nice of you to buy the nurses chocolates to thank them.
Thanks 🙂
Ashley’s tooth fairy box is very pretty 🙂 I guess it’s a blessing in disguise that you all ended up in a hospital. Chances of getting a free tooth extraction in a dental clinic is slim or maybe impossible.
Yes indeed it’s a blessing. Going to the dentist would have cost us at least RM30 without an injection 🙂
your girl is so so so brave! mine would be crying coz of the blood although no pain. well done ashley!
pssst…is that the market rate ah? i have no clue (still waiting for my time!)
Hahahah…thanks Syn Nee. Err…Am not sure what’s the market rate though. I ran out of rm1 note. Only had rm5 and rm10 in my purse 😛
Awww, look at the note she wrote to tooth fairy… RM3.90 is very cheap eh? Guess this is the charges from hospital.
Ashley is such a brave girl. Gwen lost one front tooth already. The other one is very loose now..she don’t let me pull it out for her coz she is afraid of blood..haha. I am surprised private hospital didn’t charge for the extraction.
RM5 for a tooth! You are spoiling the market leh …
You are the drama queen, not Ashley .. 😉
Brave girl indeed. Love the tooth fairy box. 🙂
