I have just had one wisdom tooth pulled out (extracted) from the upper left hand side of the palate.
It was a less than 30 mins job to pull one mighty wisdom tooth that was already infected by caries and it was located pretty much in the back that brushing alone might not be that effective and regular gurgling with mouth wash might help. Good thing the other 3 wisdom teeth are well intact and i am planning to be more conscious when it comes to taking care of my teeth.
And today was my very 1st time ever to go through such an experience as an adult.
More on wisdom teeth, read here.
Now my left cheek looked a bit puffy coz i am biting a thick gauze to stop the bleeding and to speed up the healing process. I have also been prescribed with painkillers that will help ease the after-extraction pain once the 3 anaesthetic jabs effect i had withdraw.
Seriously, it does not look good at all, that tooth as it is full of cavities but the bone structure is mighty strong. It was nearly an inch size when i saw it placed on the dentist bowl next to my seat. Gigi tu memang power, uols.
I did it FOC uols. Because it is a UKM campus clinic.
Moral of the story:
#1. Do not neglect washing our mouth with a proper mouthwash as brushing alone is not totally effective and dental flossing cannot totally remove the debris between our teeth especially when it is so far behind like wisdom teeth.
#2. Love your teeth. Take care of them more often and have it descaled at least twice a year.
#3. Marry a dentist if it helps beautify your teeth (ok pun intended)

hahahahaa... I like #3. Going to dentist isn't cheap so to have one in the housewhole will surely help!
Ryzah,
Jangan hubby tu terlebih vanity and teeth conscious all the time dah la kan?
Last month aku pun baru cabut another wisdom tooth here in manchester..although under HNS still kena byr jugak kan..48.60 pounds..! kalau convert..(mcm mak aku..) dah 200 lebih tu..
Ingatkan free lagi like 10 yrs ago..silap besar duk postpone gi dentist in UKM to get that 2nd wisdom tooth pulled out..
Hana,
Well hana, kat UK freebies dah tak berapa sgt dah...more of discounted only , tu pon if u r eligible for such. Last time pon yg slalu i dpt free was contraceptive pills prescribed by the GP and anti-inflamatory pills and strong painkillers lpas kena back pain early 2004. Sib baik UKM still give such privilege to us kan!
