As I could spare a little time now, I arranged for my last wisdom tooth to be removed on Wednesday afternoon. I was last told that a cavity was forming in the molar beside my wisdom tooth and advised against delaying its removal too much.
Even though I am more experienced, I am so much more anxious and nervous this time. Strange and I dont know why. The procedures are almost identical to the last one but I werent at ease. I was filled with anxiety while waiting. Arrgghhh.
I was made to wait more on the dentist chair and was close to getting a panic attack. I felt more like on the death chair. Boohoo. I couldn't tell if I was wearing too little (sleeveless and skirt) or too scared but was shivering. I felt stupid shivering away but couldnt stop myself. Sob.
Other than the jabs, there was no pain. Then it was the usual drilling, clipping and pulling. The dentist said that one of the roots was curved and thus took longer to tug and pull out the root. It was a horrible wait while the dentist was pulling the root out.
The surgery was over in about 20mins and the bleeding stopped totally about 2 hours later. This extraction left me with greater pain and a slight swelling too. Fortunately, I could talk normally and eat with one side the next day. Yeah, I have 2 days of MC for yday and today and have plenty of things lined up. Hehe. Must make proper use of my MC.
I finally took out all my wisdom teeth. Yeah! I have one more scaling and polishing to do. Then, I would have accomplished one more of my new year resolution. Hehe.
