Just $2 pink Guava made me spend $700 for dental care
Confused?
But it’s true.
I was on my way to a long journey and felt hungry on the way. I was not comfortable to get finger food to calm down my hunger. The reason is I was just recovered from a terrible viral infection, my eyes locked into a fruits seller, he was looking very old and tiring. Oh, dear..my sympathy hormones activated and my hungry converted into his well being.
I have approached that seller and asked for the price..there were many fruits with him like apple, orange, grapes, and many more..but, my eyes stuck with guava. He said it is very nice and sweet..hmmm…long time I didn’t try guava. So thought..let have one..he said, take 2., I said ok and asked where can I get some water to wash it? He replied "I will do it for you" he brings the fruits into the restaurant and washed it for me. With a very think full heart, I paid for the guava and asked to keep him the balance.
Sweet, Nice, tasty, But.
I was back in my vehicle, and start to bite the guvava..really it was sweet and nice. its skin was very soft. the pulp inside was very tasty. I have finished the 1st one, felt satisfied and was thinking of another one, which I kept in my handbag. without any delay, I took out 2nd one and started to bite..wow..the taste is better than the 1st one. but sadly, the joy was didn't extend longer. felt that I bite something hard..is there a stone in fruit? Or the metal part in it? Anyway, I took it out carefully..oh my god it was a piece of my teeth. I have stopped chewing the fruit..and have "research" in my mouth..yes part of my teeth..it was a big piece..is the guava seed that much hard? it can damage teeth? a lot of questions and another side feel angry on the 2nd fruit and the seller..why I took the 2nd guava? I was a little bit nervous..it was the first experience for me..anyway, I have finished the fruit by swallowing instead of bite and enjoy.
Seen 2. Visiting a Dental Surgeon
I have to visit a dental consultant…
I had a search for who is “the Cheap and Best” dental consultant around me..you know, the most expensive care is dental care.
What happens? How can I help you? He asked with a big smile (he have a well-maintained row of white teeth, there is no gape in between like mine)
I said that yes I know you are going to help me very much. I have seen your consultation charge at the reception (but don’t know why my voice was not loud enough)
Anyway, I had explained the incident with some decorations. I have diverted the story in a food outlet and blamed a chicken wing. ( still, I didn't blame the innocent fruit)
consultation report
He invites me to lay on the chair and ..asked to open my mouth. he did a details inspection in my mouth with a lot of patience.
His final report was very shocking….” your lower jaw, 2nd molar is almost cracked, the inner part is already deteriorated, never end. happen is happen, what's next" I throw a question to him. the replay was simple. nothing to worry we can take it out or go for a capping .i was confusing..he was very kind and added, .see..you are young you can still maintain your teeth with a capping. decision up to you. please let me know.
when I was leaving, he waned, please careful while chewing food. do not eat anything hard by that side. (1st restriction on my diet)
my curiosity made me ask, actually what was the cause for damaging my teeth? anyway, any other teeth damaged? he replied still with a smile, the cause is yourself. you are responsible for this damage. "you didn't take care of your teeth".
is it? nothing to ask more.
paid, registration fees+consultation +GST, Next appointment 2 weeks later.
Behind the scene.
on the way back, I was fully concentrated on my phone for searching about dental capping.
there were mixed reactions on the success.
my day started with a controlled diet. I have locked one side for chewing..feel very uneasiness and had made followup appointment with the dentist.
word of the doctor was still disturbing me.."You are responsible for your damage"
I have started referring to how can care for your teeth.
Dental care is Health Care.
