3 years after my right wisdom tooth extraction, I had the left one removed yesterday! Chickened out back then and cancelled the 2nd removal, partly because it has not emerge and wasn't giving me any problem. But sometimes in March, I started to feel it, certain point in time I even had a hard time eating as I tend to bite my gum. Yes, March till August is a long time, that's because I need to schedule it such that the 5days MC doesn't affect my work.
Must say this time is much better, I was better prepared in the sense I knew what to expect, and also completed my crave-list way before the extraction (no wonder my colleague said I put on weight). The dentist was also better, more experienced, gentle, fast and also comforting. Procedure is the same as previous time, with my eyes covered, the dentist constantly iterate what was she doing and what to expect.
"I am going to put some instrument into your mouth now to loosen the tooth, you will feel pressure and water. Pressure... water... pressure... doing very well... ok the tooth is out now... are you feeling ok?"
"I am going to put some instrument into your mouth now to loosen the tooth, you will feel pressure and water. Pressure... water... pressure... doing very well... ok the tooth is out now... are you feeling ok?"
The wound did not bleed as much too, almost stopped when I reached home, and I didn't have to use any of the extra gauze to bite on. Less facial swelling (until now), though it is still a little painful.
Did I say my tooth came out in one BIG piece once again? Still pretty fresh!
The previous tooth can be found in an older post. 不愧两只都是我的牙齿，长得还挺像的。Haha!
