I had never like visiting the dental since I was young... The look of fierce/serious looking dentist and the sound of drilling instrument would just send me fear to visit one...
But I finally took my courage and made a decision to visit one as my 2 growing-wisdom teeth are giving me on & off pain from time to time..
An X-ray was done last week and I was pretty shocked when the dental specialist annouced " I will have to extract 4 wisdom teeth in total" [ I was told by the dentist of another dental clinic that I need to extract 2 which the dental refer me to a specialist to do the extraction due to complication]
The other 2 wisdom teeth never grew out of the gum, and are big in size and they are growing in the wrong direction =_=" [i.e horiztonal].. Sigh~ How great to hear...
Bottom wisdom teeth are horizontal impact while the upper one are too cramp up to grow.. =_=
"X" refer to the removed teeth..
Today morning was the first extraction, where I have to remove 2 on the left side of my mouth [picture: right side], 1 pluck [top]and 1 remove by surgery [bottom]. Wisdom teeth extraction was not about the pain of the removal, but the pain of the injection to make my gum go numb... and it really does hurt a little...
Within 15-20 mins.. out came the teeth XD
Top Wisdom Teeth [pic: left]was drilled broken into 2 pieces as it was too hard to pluck out.. I felt the pressure despite the numbness D: Bottom Wisdom Teeth [pic: right] was digged out from my gum @_@ a tiny piece of gum was intact with the tooth D:
I was given non-woven gauze to stop the bleeding, medication for swelling and pain and 5 days MC..
The gums at the bottom were sew back thus there wasn't much bleeding, it was the plucked one that cause too much loss of blood..
It kept bleeding till 7 plus D: In the end I gave up biting onto the gauze, and it better now, though it still bleed but not as much ;D
Imagine every piece of gauze contain this much blood... And forgetting that my "Good Friend" is coming in this couple of day for their monthly visit... Expecting a major blood loss....
Yet no chicken can be in my diet as they may cause infection D: Wahaha thank god my last meal (dinner) before the extraction was KFC Zinger Burger XD So I'm pretty satisfy to go for lightly meals this couple of days XD
=_= Soon I will visit the dental again for switch removal..and another appointment for the removal of the right side wisdom teeth... D:
I hope the healing process period will be a smooth one > <
Wish me best of luck.. meanwhile i'm thinking of what I can i do for the next 5 days. <-- Afterall these week of hectic workload, it feel weird to stop function all the sudden...
PS: I think I will watch the wisdom extraction video in Youtube after I removed all my wisdom teeth, if not I might not have the mental preparation to got the 2nd round.. <-- Imagine you saw all the instrument used and how it was taken out D: Thanks god, my eyes were covered when they did my removal.. ignorance is bliss indeed! ;)
Thanks for reading this wall of text + slight bloody pic;)
