Hmm, I'm back from the dentist. Today supposed to be first consultation only. But I think the dentist was free. So after taking the xray, he explained to me stuff. Asked me if I wanna do my tooth extraction today or next visit. If I wanted, I can extract all 3 today, or 1 today 2 next week or 2 today 1 next week.
So I was thinking, if my gums and mouth all gotta be numb, why not just pull all 3 today. So I got injected with the anesthetia and I started to get all numb. Then he wanted to take pictures of my teeth. Asked me to smile. I was like, "huh... how to smile? Numb already lah." But anyway, I think I'll probably look quite spastic.
Supposed to extract 3. First one came out quite well after a few tugs and pulls. Second one was slightly more deep rooted. Third one was the worst. It was so stubborn and the roots were like growing in different direction that it was impossible to pull it out. So, part of the root had to be broken. After that the taking out of the root was just a process which just seemed to go on forever. Because it was stuck, the process soon became a surgery and I think my gums had to be cut in order to get it out. I ended up with some stitches. Had to take some pain killers and antibiotic. Imagine having to swallow pills with a numb mouth. Couldn't feel anything but all I could taste was blood.
My own blood!
I became a vamp.
Vampire!
I walked out of the room and godma thought I cried. NO... I didn't cry. Its just a bit of swelling and the gauze in my mouth which made me look like my lips got punched out of shaped.
My lunch was basically blood mixed in saliva. Haha! Ewww.... Gross. But yep, I couldn't eat lah! What to do? I could only sit there and watch godma eat. Of course I had to use tissue and cover my mouth lah. I wanted to shop somemore. But godma said I should head home instead. Said I was crazy to do 3 extractions and still wanna shop. After all, I was instructed by my dentist not to do any strenuous exercise or movements like running or swimming.
Now, I'm just gonna wait for the pain killers to wear off. Then see how pain it is. Any regrets for my decision? Erm... Nope! No pain no gain right?
