Today I went to a dental surgeon, a popular chain in Singapore in a neighbourhood shopping mall next to a LRT station.
This contrasts with the time I was young. My great grand mother used to bring me to SGH Dental block for my medical appointments. I guessed I am still in Primary school.
The Dental block is on a slope near the main road and we walked up. Nowadays there is free shuttle bus that stops in almost every block in SGH.
In those days, most do not know English and we showed the appointment card to register ourselves. In my vague memory, I think it is wooden lettice "window" at the reception counter, I could be wrong though.
Sitting on a dental chair as a young child is quite daunting. But the rewards is that I have white teeth that many people praised.
As I wait outside the consult room today, I couldn't help but think that the disparity of dental consult in my young days and today's consult is in fact a progression of a nation.
I tried to find some pictures of SGH dental block online but to no avail. All stays in memory.
