Extraction of tooth

It's has been quite sometime i did not update my blog. Have been busy with overcoming my toothache.. so no mood to be online or write a blog.

Thanks to all my friends who have read & commented on regards to my blog.. i know i am nagging in some ways but i will try to make it as summary as possible.

Went for my extraction of my 2nd molar tooth last Saturday afternoon at Alexandar Hospital. I was appointment to meet my endodontist on my root canal therapy (RCT). Did 2 x-ray (1 big - where you can see your whole teeth while the other only reflect 2 teeth in the x-ray film), in the end i was asked to extract rather than RCT cos of my shaky & rootless tooth so i was refer to a GP for extraction instead.

The GP explained to me on my extraction & the x-ray reflected that i have 4 wisdom tooth not yet remove. She advise me to get all extract at 1 go rather than 1 by 1 cos it may affect the rest of tooth crook if i don't. Before extraction, i was given 3 anesthetic & waited for 15 mins for the whole thing to works. In the end, i was given 1 more anesthetic due to the pain & straight go for my extraction. The whole process took less than 1 min to have it extracted out. Well, of cos i do not feel the pain but i felt the twist & pull of my tooth. I was given a bag of gauze to change in order to stop the bleeding.

While making payment I was given a form for my next appointment to have the wisdom tooth extraction. I was told that i will be given 8 days of MC to rest at home. As i need to get permission from my boss on this, so i toreplied that i will call back appointment booking & head back home.

The worst part of the whole thing is when the numbness subside, i started to feel the pain, discomfort & throat pain. I ran to the kitchen & pop in 2 pills of painkiller, gaggle my mouth with salt water ( those who have throat pain can try this cos it works) & drink 2 cups of warm water.

2nd day of my extraction i feel discomfort while trying to eat cos the food will drop down to the hole. Thank god this does not last long, I had a better appetite & less pain today but the discomfort is still there.

I do foresee that the worse will be 2 mths later when i go for my next wisdom tooth extraction operation. This is also the time i could have slim down & quit smoking??? ha! well see.. =p
