Spot the composite veneer: Dr Nik

Spot the composite veneer: Dr Nik

Composite veneer is a layer of composite resin material placed on the surface of a tooth to shape the tooth into a better shape or to mask surface imperfection and mild malalignment. Some of my patients were sceptical when I proposed composite veneer treatment to…

I believed that there are many of us who wish to have better teeth than what we have now. Some might want it to be whiter, some wish that it is straighter, some wanted the lost ones to be replace and the list of wishes…

Work Hard, Play Hard! – Dr Gan

Work Hard, Play Hard! – Dr Gan

Life is tough, but so am I. We work hard and we also play hard!

It was a beautiful Wednesday morning for our clinic outing at Tadom Hill, Banting. We departed from Wilayah Mosque at about 8.30am. It took us a little more than an hour to arrive at the destination.

Lets take a selfie before departing

 

Arriving at Tadom Hill.

 

As Malaysians, the outing started with a lot of food. Trust me, it was really a lot of food, just like a kenduri. But that’s how we roll. And what other activity brings people closer other than food?

 A LOT OF FOOD!

 

After feeding our stomachs, we went straight for the first activity of the day : Flying Fox. Maybe it was not such a great idea. Hehe.

   The flying fox team!

 

The flying fox was exhilarating! Thank god my food stayed in my stomach. The highlight of the whole trip however, was the water activities. I never imagine that it could be so much of fun playing in the water! It felt like I was a kid all over again.

 

 Lets jump before any other thing!
Row row row your boat

 

I first tried the Tarzan swing. Everyone knows Tarzan. And there I was, expecting to be Jane.

The instructor gave us the basics on the Tarzan Swing: Grab the rope and swing like Tarzan! I was pretty amazed at how simple it was,  but the twist was that you had to let go at the height of the swing. Check out my swing and fall! It was awesome!!

 

After that, we had another water activity = The Diving Platform Jump. Though jumping from the diving platform unfortunately became a real challenge for me. I was so afraid to jump from the platform and it took me forever to actually take the leap. I felt so sorry for those who were waiting for me to jump. It did not look as high from the ground, but when I stood on top of the board (which was just a large trunk), I just could not do it. I wondered how Tom Cruise could actually just jump from the plane for his Mission Impossible-Fallout stunt.. For this, he earned my respect.

It looks easy to jump, but it was a NIGHMARE for me! This is Liyana jumping down.

However, after that first jump, and realising how easy and simple it was, I made myself go up again. And after a few more tries, it really brought the kid out from me. I did not understand what fascinated me, but the jumps were so therapeutic. Every time I jumped, it was as if all my troubles were away. Stress free, no worries, just like a kid again! We jumped over and over again, unwilling to stop for lunch. But eventually we got hungry and feasted once more.

 

After lunch, we continued with telematch games. These were activities that were classic KPF standards. Games that had elements of teamwork, communication, perseverance and most importantly FUN! We obviously had too much fun.

                                                                   All of us as a family!

Finally, the day ended with gratitude. Everyone went home with aching bodies. Nevertheless, I believe this day would never be forgotten, for the joys and fun and friendship for all of us!

Klinik Pergigian Fauziah is just like a home for us. Everyone in the clinic are my family members. Not only the staffs, but we always treat our patients like friends and families. How many people are as lucky as I, to feel loved and blessed at work. I am grateful that I am here and I wish to pass the love to people around me.

If you like to be part of the big family, feel free to write to me or make an appointment and I am sure to welcome you to be part of us!

With lots of love,

Dr Gan

Fiber Reinforced composite bridge. Yes, that was what I did recently…and I did not just do one but two fiber reinforced composite bridges (FRC bridge) on this one patient. She is a teacher that came all the way from Johor after finding out about this…
