Hmm back to blogging again...My day just started as usual though i didnt have to go to school...kinda woke up around the same time.....
Prepared to go out of the house then waited for a cab with my parents...but after waiting so long...we decided that making a booking for a cab would definitely be a better option as I am already late for my appointment. Boarded a cab not long after then headed to National Dental Centre which is in the compund of SGH.
I kinda waited for a while for the the doctor and there am i sitting ont the chair for the doctor to check my wisdom tooth. She asked me to go for an X Ray and i went ahead to get it and i was suprised that the procedure took like 15 mins..indeed it is fast....the doctor then said that extraction would be preferred for all of the 4 wisdom tooth i have....and was given an option either GA(i will be unconcious) and pluck 4 at a go or LA(what i did i am concious) 2 or 4 teeth at a go. I picked the second option plucking 2 teeth at a time ...then i waited to book my appointment and it was to be done today!! so i went to have my lunch first before heading to Level 3 to get my tooth extracted.
Went to Level 3 and indeed some people were there and someone had just plucked her tooth and was talking normally so i was thinking i shld be alrite too....then waited for my turn...i was lucky that the doctor specially arranged this surgery for me as she was not supposed to have any surgery today....went in the first but had to wait for a vacant room, waiting was a chore too cause one by one i saw some people going in to the surgery room and a few of them came out holding their teeth on their hands, they looking decently plucked out as compared to mine haha...
Went into the surgery room...was damn cold indeed was kinda shivering when i went in ...i laid down there when the doctor gave me 4 injections LA to numb the bottom jaw so that the extraction wont be painful. The injection was not that painful as i kinda am able to "tarhan" pain quite well...then the nurse kinda cover me with some towel like thingy and my eyes and forehead leaving my mouth exposed only..(Was already weating a shower cap thingy, leg covers and a gown b4 that....i think it is to protect my clothes from getting dirty....
Here come the most "Exciting" part...the start of the extraction....
Firstly, she used a scapel to cut the gums then she told me there would be a drilling sound...and there she went drilling my wisdom tooth as she cant pull my tooth out...the drilling sound kinda scary...seen people use drills at construction side only haha...then she drill at different angles...then she said there would be cracking sould whereby she extract the tooth on my right first....she took it out piece by piece as i think there are several pieces...then i could hear the cracking sound and drilling distinctly...then after a period of tussle with my tooth the first tooth was removed successfully....she did the stiches...and went on with the left tooth...doing the same process...after removing both teeth i was supposed to bite on gauzes and left the surgery theatre...and there i sat outside..the nurse explain to me some stuff and changed my gauzes and i went off to do the payment with my parents...went back to level 2 to get my mdeicine...then cabbed back home ...gotta go rest le..pain now le...will blog again
