Wisdom teeth extraction

Finally, today Monday April 3rd,2017 is the day I've undergone wisdom teeth extraction after many times procrastinating. If my memory is good enough, I've had gum infection more than 3 times over the past few years and each time lasted for 1 week. My gum was swollen and I barely could eat or work.

The dentist advised me to have the upper and lower teeth removed on the left side first so that I can still chew food on the right side. After taking the x ray of my mouth, the dentist injected local anaesthetic to numb my teeth and surrounding area. I felt a little discomfort and my lip on the right side turned numb. The dentist was very kind, soft and advised me all the steps she was going. She kept calming me down, reminding me to take a deep breath, breathe in and out normally so that I didn't get so intensed and stressed out. She asked the nurse to hold my face firmly and she pulled out the upper teeth very fast. I felt some pressure, heard the sound that tooth was pulled out in some seconds but literally no pain. The first tooth was gone very fast!

The lower tooth is more complicated since it's half covered by my gum and they need to do surgery. This time they covered a cloth on my eyes (not sure the purpose though). It seems to take double the time compared to the upper tooth but this time I had no clue when the tooth was taken out until the dentist told me it's done and i was doing well :)

While waiting outside for payment and medicines for about 10 minutes, I still managed to kill waiting time by reading newspaper. I was thinking whether i should take taxi or MRT to go home. I also enjoy playing with my removed wisdom teeth which look so cute haha but I was not aware that the upper one has shown some sign of decay with stain around the enamel and fissure decay formed in the grooves. When standing at the reception, I started feeling dizzying and felt down unconscious in the clinic. The nurses helped me sit down and gave me water. I can feel my face was sweating but my body was cold. After that I felt nausea and vomited (it's all the chocolate cheese bread I had for the breakfast). Dr Cheng came down to see me, calm me down as he has been so for the past few years I trusted him for all dental issues and advised me that I was maybe too stressed out.

I went home, eating some vegetables, taking painkiller and antibiotics, sleeping for almost 2 + hours. Luckily I haven't felt pain yet.

So that's the story about my wisdom teeth removal. I still have one upper tooth on the right side to be removed, the lower one is still covered inside the gum. ( I didn't know it exists until today :P)
