Trip to the :Dentist

Today was my trip to the dentist to remove that vexatious wisdom tooth of mine which perceptibly not very wise. The 'surgery', as you may call it, went pretty smoothly. The most pain I felt was during the jabs. My mouth was too numb to feel anything after that. I did feel the pressure of whatever the dentist used to scrape out my teeth to a certain extent.

The reason for this 'surgery' is because my teeth, instead of growing upwards it grows 90 degrees horizontally. Ergo if not removed, it would push at my other teeth causing it to be rather cramped it the front. And that would mean I'd have to wear braces.

So what the dentist did was to first numb my mouth so that I don't feel the pain. Then she proceeded to cut open my gums in order to get the tooth out. Apparently this tooth is quite big so she couldn't remove it at once and had to cut it into half. After about 45 minutes the tooth was finally removed and I was allowed to go home and live happily ever after. Or so I thought.....

Once I got home, I was bleeding non-stop. Had to change cotton every half hour. My mouth was still numb so I had a bit of drool problems. But it was under control. Then later in the day my cheek started to swell so it looks kinda funny now. No pictures for you guys, sorry.

So I'm gonna be stuck indoors for the whole of tonight and tomorrow. Good time to catch up on movies. I need a break anyways. Haven't stopped since after SPM.

Will update on the Langkawi trip once I get my hands on all the pictures.

PS: Made of Honor, good movie to catch. Awesome soundtrack.
