Scaling

Today, I went for scaling.

No, it doesn't mean you have to stand on a weighing machine and wait for them to start criticizing you for not exercising regularly.

Scaling is a procedure where the orthodontist removes layers of grime, dirt, plaque, food residue, and much more from your teeth surfaces and under your gums, which cannot be usually removed through ordinary brushing or flossing.

The orthodontist usually uses an ultrasonic scaler, which has a tip which vibrates very fast to remove debris.

It's not really a painful process, unless you are the type of person who do not brush your teeth correctly, or eat a lot of starchy/meaty food.

Today I had trouble with scaling.

You see, when your teeth is being scaled, there is a tiny tube on the scaler which occasionally spurts out water to clean off the debris.

There is another tube which sucks everything out. This is usually held by the orthodontist's assistant.

The assistant sucked a.k.a. doesn't know how to hold that sucker.

Thus, I was drowning on the operation chair.

The drama unfolds.

I kicked the table which swirled around and hit the assistant who hits the orthodontist who hits me.















NOT.
