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)
