with 2 teeth less, as they were removed yesterday at CGH.
it was just a normal tooth extraction, not a surgery that was suggested last year when i went for dental checkup.
When im all ready on the seat lying down, the dentist said, '' We try to remove using normal extraction 1st yea, if cant den we need an operation.''
''Oh really, for the upper one or both ?''
'' We try both.''
Then, dentist anaesthesia into my gum. 2 injections. Then, he just used force to pluck out my upper wisdom tooth. The pain was not there yet, but he pulled it 1/2 way, n stopped, leaving the tooth hanging 1/2 way. He then asked me to rinse my mouth, n let the anaesthesia took effect 1st.While rinsing, i can feel the tooth slanted and pointing outwards.Eee..
Then, he just plucked out the top one , no much force required.
Now, its the important one. Normal extraction or surgery....?
I closed my eyes. I dare not see anything. Anyway, the torch is shining into my eyes.
However, i can sense that the equipment the dentist is using is quite huge, something like a driller or wat. I peeped to see wat the dentist is doing.
Ok.Removal of bottom wisdom tooth starts..
My left gum is numb. the dentist keeps saying ''Open bigger Open bigger'', n i think its for the drill to enter my mouth.haha.My face is tensed up and started to shake. THen, come the nurse to hold my head, so the dentist can aim correctly at the tooth.
Drill n drill...........
it stopped. but the tooth is not out yet. I wonder wat he was going to do next, assuming that maybe he is going to try surgery, since the tooth is still intact. but no!!
HE asked me to open wider again, and the nurse came n hold my head again, n he DriLL...
n driLl.. n DriLl..
poP!, something dropped out onto my tongue, n i guessed it must be part of the tooth tat was drilled out, while the remaining 1/2 was still inside.. my mouth was bloody then..lol..
He then slowly pick up the tooth, from my mouth, n surprisingly, IT was the Whole WisDom tooth tat dropped out!!.
He then put a gauze onto the gum to supress the blood. the 2 tooth was on the table, bloody. However, they are intact and doesnt seems to be broken by the driller.lol.
After, the extraction has ended, i stared at the teeth and was really relieved that it was over.
And not wat i had expected, or what my friends had told me when they underwent their wisdom tooth operation last time..
Then, when im still sitting there, the dentist said...
'' Hmm, normal extraction for both teeth, so 2 days Mc will do..''
Ahh!!.. 2 days mC only!!!...lol..
not the 5 days they had told me countless times b4 the extraction.LOL.
but come to think of it, 5 days mc is given when there's surgery, including local anaesthesia, scrapping of gum, drilling of tooth into smaller pieces, picking out 1 by 1, then sewing the holes back (gruesome?).
for me, it just came poping out of the gum with just simple drilling.Oh. but the dentist n nurse say i will jus need 2 days to recover n i can eat as per normal on the 2nd day.
5 days mc with surgery or 2 days mc w/o surgery+quick recovery.
If u were me, wat will u choose?.Lol.
i brought home the both teeth, as they r intact, n i think they can also be used for reference for future dentist who are removing wisdom tooth!.HAHA
See?.
I waited soo long, since oct last year, for this removal. n now?. it is just completed in 20 mins.
ok. im feeling much better now, n can eat and bite as per normal on the 3rd day alr:)
THurs VALentine's dAY. i cAn eaT gooD fooD lo!!!!
