Tooth Extraction
As I am typing this, I am trying to ignore the soreness in my mouth, and the taste of dressing in my mouth. Yep, I went for tooth extraction today.
Though it wasn't my main intention to take leave today, I thought I might was well have the veryrotting decaying wisdom tooth extracted. Dentist was brilliant on the skill. I kept telling him that I am afraid of the pain, and he say "No pain, no pain, it will be over before you know it."
He first show me, "LIVE" on the tv screen in front of the chair, what he will do to my teeth, explaining what he can do and cannot do. Then, he proceed to inject anesthetic, twice, at the gums. Then while waiting for the drug to take effect, he talked to me about World Cup (which I watch fortunately, and can discuss abit) . Then he fixed one of the molars. Then he ask me, are you ready for the extraction. I said I am still wary of the pain. He said he can't extract for me if I am not ready. And again he said, there won't be any pain one. By now the anesthetic has taken effect. I guess there is no running away.
Then he plug something in my mouth and told me "This is to test whether there's pain or not", and went on to do some pushing in my mouth for sometime. Amazingly, I can feel the movement, but there's no pain. Then he took the plyer-like tool and told me that he is going to extract the tooth now. And before you say "Eeeee", the tooth was removed. Just like that.
Gave a thumb up to the dentist and praised him for his speedy extraction. It was indeed like what he said, no pain, no pain.
What a relief.
