dental health
moby went for his regular biannual dental check-up that was 3 years overdue. he stepped into the clinic wearily, as nightmares of his childhood visits to the dentist slowly crept back into his mind. but even then, he wanted to make use of his company's yearly dental benefit of $250, so he voluntarily walked into yet another nightmare.
the dentist (who will be known as bmt from now onwards, short for "bespectacled masked torturer") slowly poked and prodded at moby's teeth with his instruments of mass pain-infliction..."tender right? muahaha".
moby winced and nodded his head in agreement, with tears welled up in his misty eyes.
"i knew it. see lah, now got cavities already. you grind your teeth too, don't you?! take this!" and with that, bmt drilled a hole into moby's left hind upper molar (or whatever you call that tooth).
moby's saliva slowly started dripping down the side of his face, even with the suction of the vacuum-thing-that-they-stick-down-your-throat...moby was in danger of drowning in his own spit!
repeat the above process for the left hind lower molar, the right hind upper molar, the left upper incisor, and the left lower incisor. one and a half hours later, moby comes out of the dental clinic with 5 new fillings and $305 poorer. what a day. =|
(no, this is not my tooth)

Not very smart leh. If you go yearly, you will be able to split up the bill and claim the entire thing. Now, you have to pay $55 yourself?
Anyway, $250 is quite a lot. Mine is only $70. Enough only for cleaning and polishing. Which I regularly do coz I have recurring nightmares that my teeth all crumble and fall out of my mouth for no apparent reason...
I hate dentists because they charge so much.
Finally, that picture is really gross. But I concede, would be even grosser if it was indeed your tooth.
dude... i have only got 1 cavity since i changed all my baby teeth into adult teeth... lol...
wayne...i just found out that i can only claim $70 too. i have no idea where i got the $250 from. sigh. oh well...now i'm paying for not using it on a yearly basis. stupid.
bro...good for you. and i bet you haven't been to the dentist since 1992 to check your teeth either right? haha.
