shouLd i triM my jAwz and chiN?

beinG trAined in a hozpitAl settinG, it'Z commoN to meeT physiciAnz on a dAily bAsis...

but physiciAnz are not dentistS....and dentisTs focuZ on the orAl cAvity....

so, durinG our singAporean MLK pArty...kM (a malAysian dentisT traininG here) joiNed in for some fuN....thAnkz to kAh for volunteerinG to driVe uz hoMe cuZ the shuttLe wAz dowN on MLK.

az we wAlked towArdz kAh'z cAr.....i cAsually asKed kM if i need brAces....then he thoughT for a whiLe...and gAve hiz professionAl advize....whicH iz to do somethinG elZe befoRe i put brAces on....

hey dude, this is definitely 1million times more "invasive" than LASIK.

I had a good friend whose brother underwent the same surgery few yrs ago, its not that simple, because of the nature of the surgery and infection/inflammation will cause swelling of the throat. That person i knew of, had a mild infection, his throat was all stuck with phlegm and the doctor had to insert a suction tube down the throat to clear the phlegm so that he can breath. And u wun be able to speak for a long time, so prepare a white board and marker.

If u really need this, i suggest do it where u know u have family/firends who can guard u round the clock aft the surgery. Be safe ok..

Haha mine is inflammation, not infection, so it showed that my immune system is working damn hard! Maybe go read forum and see what they say! No regrets for LASIK! Horay! I totally agree with wen mei to do it with family or friends around cos that's where ur moral support are!
