This was Son No 3's fourth visit to the dentist and he showed very little anxiety. Dr Tong is an experienced, motherly dentist with a kindly disposition. Son No 3 was comfortable with her. Throughout the visit, he was brave and assertive in his demands, instructing Dr Tong not to press too hard, making it known when he needed to rinse his mouth and that he disliked the topical anaesthesia that was applied because it was too hot.
Dr Tong and the two nurses were suitably amused. Son No 3 must have brightened up their day - I guess he is quite different from the normal type of patients that they have. Their pleasure translated to a RM10 discount to the bill!
Son No 3 was most cooperative when it came to mummy's requests to have pictures taken to commemorate the event.

But, alamak, I forgot to tell him about the tooth fairy ....
