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?
yeah yeah!! especially when the dentist tried to use the teeth on the other side of the mouth as leverage to drag the tooth for extraction!!!
