Today came so fast despite enjoying myself for the past 4 days... Had a dental checkup last sunday. I was super glad tt i had no decay despite delaying my regular checkup... But the breaking news came. my dentist suggested tt i shld remove my wisdom teeth as they r growing under the gums and will now be coming out anymore. so she asked me to book an appointment on this coming friday to do the surgery. as i had heard fr my fren tt wisdom tooth extraction is very scary, i tried to enjoy myself these few days and eat a lot of good food. but the day has come with much fear and anxiety...
i went wif my mum to do the surgery. i decided on removing my left side wisdom teeth. both required surgery. b4 the operation, the dentist checked on my teeth to ensure tt it is alright. den she applied anesthetic. wow. so scary. she injected the big anesthetic needle at least 4 times into my gums. it's super pain. scary... after which, my left face and gum feel numb n a bit swollen. tt's super scary. to ensure tt the left side of my mouth is completed numb, the dentist made me go for an x-ray of my mouth to look at my wisdom teeth formation b4 she starts the operation. the x-ray machine was awesome. it can speak to me by giving me specific instructions. haha. after tt, my dentist showed me the picture of my x-ray and explained the details to my mum n me. she said tt the surgery may caused some temporary numbness of a nerve as the wisdom tooth extraction is very near to it. tis scare me... but it wun cause any big problem to me. den my mum was handed the consent form to sign as i'm nt yet 21.
she started wif the big operation. she covered me wif a blanket and wif a blue coat so tt there's no infection of my wounds after the extraction. my eyes were covered too so tt i wun see the big equipments operating on me. during the surgery, i could feel lots of stretching and pulling. my mouth feels tired too as i had to open it for a long period of time. the surgery very rather fast... haha. the wisdom teeth were extracted within 20 minutes. stitches were done too. feel so tired after the operation and much discomfort in my mouth. the whole surgery cost $1080... wow. but its claimable using my mum's medisave. luckily...
went home to rest after it. i can feel the effect of anesthetic wearing off. now i'm experiencing difficulty in eating. sian. porridge for the next feel days. sad...
jiayou jiayou! waiting for my wounds to recover!!! haha.
