5th February 2006 - Day 111

I slept in late today until 1300. Absolutely nothing interesting happened today.

I need to visit the dentist. I believe a part of my tooth has been chipped off while I was munching on some cereals. The part of the said tooth feels rough as I run my tongue over. I'm glad that it doesn't hurt at the moment.

Brushing habits remains the same. Despite the increased intake of milk and joghurt, my teeth are still weakening. It sounds ridiculous, but my guess is that "un-flourine-nated" tap water have a negative effect on my teeth.

No flouride in the tap water, but they add their flouride somewhere else. It's quite common to see Salz mit Florid here. I heard that the toothpaste here also contain higher amounts of flouride compared to those back home.

I managed to find a dentist in the area through an online map. It's about 5 minutes walk away from the hostel. Even with the Krankenversicherung, I wonder how much I'll spend.

The Krankenversicherung supposedly provides very basic dental benefits. If I'm not wrong, I still have to pay at least 10€ for the consultation fee. I'll see how it goes.

So, more dental updates tomorrow.
