A Visit To The Dentist
I think my dentist was probably shaking his head when he saw me on his dental chair.
I only visit him only when I need feelings or tooth extraction. Never a proper checkup. Cos I have bad feelings about visiting the dentist, even though mine is a good one.
I went to him tonight because I HAD TO extract a decaying molar tooth. I had wanted to do it for a long time, but there were a lot of things happening in between, so I didn't went. However, today, the gums have finally protested. I have to get that tooth extracted.
I like to go to this dentist of mine, simply because tooth extraction happens before you know it. The last time I've been there, we were discussing about the World Cup. Which I reckon was more than a year ago. Which I reckon was the reason why he frowned when he saw my dental history before he did the extraction.
The injection of anesthetic to the gum area was a little painful, but it was manageable. When he told me that the tooth may take some skills to be extracted, I didn't really panic. Because I know it IS the truth. I shall not describe the process, but it is enough information when my bottom lips were a little torn after the procedure. But it was not very painful. I gather either my threshold for pain is high, or it is really not that painful.
So now I am typing this with the 5th change of gauze in my mouth.
Not nice. But I'd live.

Thanks. Not feeling better, in fact feeling feverish and groggy headed.
But I'll live :)
oh I want to go clean my teeth next month. long time never clean by dentist.
Wisdom teeth i hope to pluck the rest of the 3 next year.
Well, give yourself a sick day! It's for the good of the office, plus you deserve to be healthy & happy, as well as alive :) /\
Well, the extraction gave me a mild fever the day after, which I took the half day off (new boss was kind enough to permit that) and it's still bugging me on the second day.
I give it till the end of this weekend to go away. :S
