So the girls were due for their biannual dental appointment so we went to see Poonam Batra, who, it seems might just be THE only dentist that expats see in Delhi! She denied it of course, but was flattered when I told her just how many recommendations I'd received. Including of course, Dean's.
You see Dean seems to have developed a habit of needing root canal treatment, almost immediately we move to a new country! Fortunately dental treatment here is damn cheap. Looks like he might even finally attend to that bloody gaping hole of a missing tooth from a footy accident over 30 years ago, given that titianium implants are soooooooo much cheaper here. I'm considering braces too!!
Anyway, so Emmaline went first and everything was normal ... until .... I noticed Poonam's three
YES I SAID THREE assistants ... see:
one to hold the sucker thingy, one to adjust the overhead lamp every 3microseconds and the other standing around generally doing not much to be honest!
Emmaline was given the aok, then it was Xanthe's turn. Unbelieveably we were ushered out of the room while they sterilised everything and reset the room. I told her I personally thought it unnecessary to sterilise between siblings, but she insisted and I obliged!
It seems Xanthe has a "tongue thrust" which meant a quick drop in consultation by the onsite orthodontist .... (that was handy, so was not charging for that either!) who determined that Xanthe needs a plate (just like her mates Jamie & Hannah) to fix her top front teeth which are protruding just a tad!!!!
