My teeth going to cost me a bomb!!

If you read my post previously, I've mentioned about fixing something that will cost me about RM1500 (estimated cost) and the something is actually my teeth!!!! Uwahhh!!!!!!
9 years ago, i went to do a root canal to fix my front teeth and after an excruciating pain having my teeth prodded for 3 weeks, my dentist finally complete his job and managed to save my teeth's root and fix a crowning for me. That time, when i was still a student, the cost was about RM500 for 2 teeth. RM500 for a student is veryyyyyyyy huge sum of money you know.
2 years after my crowning was done, one of the tooth's stand broken when i was eating popiah..!! Then i went to get it done one more time, and i had to fork out another RM300 just for a tooth which has a metal support. (i was still a student that time). And now, after 9 years, the other tooth decided to die on me while i was eating a nice sausage bun on the first day of 2009. Celaka sungguh!!!!!!! Since i'm not a student anymore, the cost won't be cheap like i got last time. I remember my dentist last time, told if i get my tooth done outside, 1 tooth will cost around RM700 each!!! Uwah!!!! And after finish working today, i will have to go see a dentist no matter what..!! *sigh*
Among us sibling, i am the only one who faced lots of dental problems. I'm wondering, can dental problem be passed genetically???? Coz' my mom has a serious dental problem too..! My other siblings have a good set of teeth while me, no matter how i take care, get my teeth flossed everyday, there are still a lots of problem relating to my teeth arised. There was one time, i was eating a peanut and while chewing, "Prakkkkkkk!!!!"..one of my teeth broke like it was just a piece of fragile glass..!!! Why ah?????????? My sister keep telling me, that i inherit mom's genetic and thats why my teeth have soooooo many problem...is it possible???????? Anybody has the same problem like me?????
Now, it was only few months after i'm freed from my credit card debts, and now, my teeth going to cost me sooo much pulak!!!! Why me ah????? *sigh* Bomb or not bomb, i still need to get my teeth done as soon as possible. Hubby was laughing at me last night, and that seriously dent my pride. Give lah support kan..ini tidak, laugh at me some more!!!!! I hope, my metal support crowning won't take long time to be fixed..*sob...sob..sob*

KMama I have dental problem too, but not like yours. My gum is quite sensitive, it bleeds when I brush my teeth wrongly.

I have food stuck between my teeth almost every time I eat.
Dan yang paling bida, my upper teeth berlapis ni.

At some point I was thinking of getting braces, but sia takut sakit bah...

Don't worry the dentist will fix it all for u as long as u have $$$$.

Lab papa said...

Kadusmama,

My sis had that broken tooth like your experienced. She fixed it by seeing dentist but not sure how. Genetics? Yeap, the possibility is there. But nowadays people tend to point the finger at the genes they inherited (LOL) Even I've read somewhere else, politics also affect by genetics hehehehe.

KaDusMama said...

Nick Phillips ~ ya lah!! very expensive..can buy one nice handphone already kan??

Little inbox ~ yeah agree with you..but it seem i've been having a dental problem since i was very small.. :(

chegu carol ~ denture murah carol..! About RM500 jak..yang sia buat crowning nie..aduh..baru satu gigi sudah RM850..!! but sia mau kasi bagus mana2 lagi gigi rusak kan..tu yang mahal tu..

KaDusMama said...

Sheelasheena ~ once everything done..my day will be ok again..hehe

Deana e ~ oh ya kah?? Alamak! but i love milk..hari2 pun minum susu nie.. :(
Cheras is very far lah..i mean far from my place..tia apa lah..my house sini ada satu clinic..quite ok juga the dr..

Ulat King ~ hahaha!! my teeth have nothing to do with recession lah!! But yeah..my year doesn't very good too...
Anyway..how was your exam?? any good news??

KaDusMama said...

Lab Papa ~ oh iya?? Ayak then what happend to her?? What was done to her tooth???
If my problem only started recently, i don't think i will blame my genetic..but this has been going on since i'm 6years old bah..so yeah..i still think the genetic i've inherited has to do with my problem now..hahahaha (senang2 saja kasi salah genetic bah kan
