.. where dentists are allowed to invade..
everybody has their own ’space’..
and some finds it very uncomfortable for someone unknown to ‘enter’ the zone..
understood..!!
as of for me, i always prefer the spouse to be in the room, sit on the bench and witness everything i do.. esp when i’m [...]

it’s just the bite.. the crossbite..

Pleasant to think that my ‘artwork’ is ‘traveling’ around the globe..
The latest is Sweden!

Other places.. mostly from Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.. 2 from Japan and few from the Europe..

a lady came for tooth extraction.. it was badly carious upper molar..
and it was very firm!
2nd attempt.. the crown fractured, leaving the solid 3 roots.. embedded firmly in the bone..
not much choice..
but to split the roots.. using highspeed bur..
err… that’s not my main story..
this story is actually about a lady who was holding [...]

mistake which is unforgivable..

I always found new, interesting and sometimes ‘weird’ cases from foreigners..

I managed to issue a 4-unit-bridge yesterday to my dear patient who resembles a lot like my walid!!
not just his name.. but the way he (ermm.. how to say..) the way he ‘bring’ himself.. the sort of ‘pride’ he has.. and in fact, the good heart to help others.. all those.. makes me think [...]
