Went to pluck out my wisdom tooth today. I did not even realise its going to be like this till I went to the dentist. Had swollen gums and headache for the past 3 days. The next thing I know was the dentist saying that there is infection on my wisdom tooth and proceeded to put antiseptic on me. I was so shocked for I did not recall agreeing to this. After asking to reconsider for 5 minutes, I realise I got no other options. Can't do it the next 2 weeks.
But alas, as I last recalled my wisdom extraction memory, it was nothing but torture. This time is no difference, probably much worse. Tears somehow flowed out of my eyes uncontrollably as I tried to bear the pain. I keep asking him to inject more anesthetic to my gum area. The tooth this time was much bigger, have to be sawed into 3 parts rather than 2. The dentist's pliers twisting and turning still vividly flash across me. The pain comes and goes in my mouth now as the anesthesia effect wears off. I can hardly talk, let alone eat. Perhaps I should keep taking pain killers.
As I sit here, I ask myself why do I have 4? Hopefully the remaining 2 can stay in there as long as they like. It is too much to ask for eternal?
