I had 2 molars removed at one go.

Apparently it was a gum infection from my wisdom tooth and infiltrated my root canals of the other cutesy molar i had with me for 19 years. It was bad, that both of them have to go. My surgery was scheduled at 4.15pm and i had my last good meal at MOS burger, yes i still think of food at that moment.

The surgical room wasnt that scary, there was the very nice and friendly female dentist along with two assistants. The dentist explained the procedures of the surgery and the next thing was having 4 jabs of anaesthetic right through the gums. The feeling is pricky and funny, and you can feel it rushing from your gums to your jaws and ears before everything goes numb. A black cushion was use to keep my mouth opened throughout. Imagine stretching your mouth out wide for a full 45minutes surgery, that explains my swollen cheeks, bruised and abused :/ Cant really feel the pain and all while they tried to dig, twist and drill, more digging, more twisting and drilling, all thanks to the anaesthetic jabs i love. Both the assistant was holding my head and arms down while the dentist dig and pull the tooth. And i can really hear the cracking of my tooth in my gums, piak. like that, and slowly crack again and finally plop, it came out all bloody. I dont know how to describe but maybe is how you dig your nose and finally the stuff came out? Yea that feeling. and then the next tooth, i can totally feel the exhaustion in me, scared but at the same time acting cool. But they were very nice and friendly to me, constantly encouraging me and ask "are you ok, phylis?" and then that weird smiley look on their faces. I cant even reply with my mouth opened and widely stretched out. But i knew i was bleeding alot that they have to give me 3 shots of collagen before they wrapped up my gums by sewing with a black thick thread. Eww?

It felt OK, until 2 hours later my anaesthetic went off it was excruciating pain, my throat was throbbing, the swell was horrifying and the color of my cheeks is wow so sexy. I'll never encourage anyone to remove the wisdom tooth unless there's problem with it. Now it feels so empty without 2 back teeth. I will really miss them. Bye toothies.
