At last i took up the courage to book a dental appointment for my wisdom tooth on last wednesday! Yeah, i have been delaying this for very long since last Dec. Its not that i'm busy or plain lazy, i guess i'm just too chicken for it. The thought of the anaesthetic injection to the extraction and the pain that i've to expect throughout absolutely freaked me out to the core! Especially when i keep hearing similar painful stories from my colleagues. I seriously don't know how i even got that bravery all of a sudden. Perhaps it could be due to the cost of extraction if i do it after i ORD. However, with 11B, all expenses will be subsidised fully (^_^)V!
So everything came in a rush and swift on last Wednesday. Through the referral from the dental MO, i managed to book an appointment at Alexandra Hospital for an X-ray on my mouth on the same day! The X-ray revealed that i'm required to extract 4 impacted wisdom tooth to prevent any further problems in the future. They were located top and bottom at both left and right side! Before i could even recover in time from the shock, i was already scheduled for my first surgery on last Friday and the following Friday, which was yesterday!! O.O||| I was so stunned and i wasn't even mentally prepared to have the extraction so soon! I've never expected things could run so "efficiently" from just a pre-check up to the finalisation of an extraction in just 1 single day!
Oh well, at least i've finally completed both back to back surgery and resting at home right now. Fortunately for me, it wasn't so much of a pain that i had to endure. The hassling part is having 4 "lobangs" in my mouth, where all the food always stuck there without fail!! Machiam like a parking lot like that. I've to keep using the syringe giving to me to flush out the remaining food particles in the "lobangs" after every meal. This should last for quite a long time i guess, haiz...
