IFLOSS DENTAL CLINIC

 Helllooooooo

Let's talk about dental hygiene today because my teeth is overdue for scaling. I don't have perfect teeth and my dental hygiene isn't perfect either, but I try my best to ensure there are no cavities, no bad breath and no infections. I don't think I've had any toothache but I've seen my sisters and my mom went through it and boy, that's definitely one experience I wouldn't mind missing.

I try my best to go see the dentist for annual checkup and regular scaling at least twice a year. I usually head to the government dental clinic in Keramat/Setiawangsa because it's affordable but the wait takes up half a day. With MCO in Malaysia, they have changed the procedure. You're not able to walk in early morning for a spot now. Instead, you are required to call them in order to book a spot. Spots are always full aaaaand there goes my routine of getting my teeth cleaned.

And that is how my journey began by looking into options to go do a checkup and scaling at a private clinic. Some of them are a tad bit expensive for me so I was a bit dispirited. Almost gave up actually and thought why not just book a spot with the usual clinic and wait for another 2-3 months ─ wasn't looking forward to it but it is what it is. 

But one day out of the blue, I received an email from iFloss Dental and they offered me the service. I couldn't say no to it.

iFloss Dental is located in Plaza Arkadia of Desa Parkcity. There aren't any public transportations that I know of nearby but it does take around 20 minutes from KL Sentral by car. They are located on the first floor of Block G, just right opposite the lift. I'm not familiar with Plaza Arkadia so searching for them was quite easy since they're the first thing you see when the door lift opens.

You will need to do the usual MySejahtera scan and getting your temperature checked before registering.  The first thing that caught my eye was how warm and how fun the clinic is decorated. They have a section of the wall that shows the before and after of their patients' teeth. I find this cute and adds a bit of personal touch to their ambience.

Once you've registered, you'll be led to the waiting area before you meet the doctor. I love this waiting area. It's so well lit. I should have taken a few selfies. I also like this area because of the toys located in the corner of the room. I was also informed that there is another larger play area for kids to play and I'll see it on the way to the room later.

They called me in when the doctor was ready. The doctor that attended to me was Dr. Aaron Lai. He performed the scaling and polishing on my teeth. I don't have cavities ─ yayy! ─ but he did say my lower denture was dirtier than my upper denture. I'm not scared of dentists but when he asked me to demonstrate how I brush my teeth, I got a bit scared haha. I was worried that I was brushing my teeth wrong this whole time. it was a good thing he requested me to demonstrate so that he is s able to provide me recommendations on how to brush my teeth properly and improve my dental hygiene.

They also have other treatments available such as wisdom tooth removal, whitening, dental implant and of course, braces. Dr. Aaron was very patient explaining the procedure of each treatment and recommending me treatments that best suits my concern regarding my teeth. I have been considering on wearing braces to fix on my lower molars. They aren't upright and that area is where I have a lot of buildup. The idea of getting on braces to me would help fix the position of the molars and in turn, I can get to improve my dental hygiene as well. They have a few options for braces ranging from RM5,500 to RM19,000 depending on the condition of your teeth.

Overall, I had a great dentist visit! I'm so happy that my teeth are now cleaner and I can feel the gaps between my teeth haha. I might just bring my sisters here for their annual checkup and scaling too. The cost of scaling would be from RM50-RM100 depending on the condition of your teeth. That's a reasonable price to me. And I'm pretty sure they won't be scared of Dr. Aaron. He was cheerful, patient and made sure that you feel comfortable.

If you guys are in the area or are looking for a dental clinic, I would recommend you give iFloss Dental Clinic a go. You can give them a ring at 03-64118010 to know more about their services or head to their website to book an appointment. 

Hope you have a nice day ♥
