During Raya, a significant cultural tradition entails married individuals and adults giving money packets to younger ones. To receive these packets, it’s customary for the younger generation to seek the blessings of their elders.

A dentist, @dr.ntshya, decided to add her own twist to the tradition by making sure her relatives had healthy teeth before giving them the duit raya packets. She decided to record the wholesome moment and posted it on her TikTok account.

In the video, Natashya was seen asking the kids to show their teeth before claiming their packets, and one by one, each one of them did, and received their packets.

Being a dentist, it is common when parents come asking if their kids’ teeth is healthy or not, so I made sure my relatives did not have to worry about it.

She also added that the incident took place on the second day of Eid, which was yesterday, (11th April) at Johor Bahru.
