had one of my wisdom tooth removed this evening. not that i want to. i have to.
it's been bothering me for a year now. or has it been 2 years? i don't know. i didn't keep track of it.
y did it take me so long to consult a dentist? oh well.
#1: expensive
#2: the damn tooth went perfectly fine the next 2 days. (by perfectly fine i mean no pain)
#3: lazy
#4: 'wai sek' greedy (food) [forgot the appropriate word alrd]
#5: expensive
the 1st x-ray of my life. cost me rm30. only 1 tiny piece of x-ray paper with my problematic wisdom tooth and its 2 normal neighbours. i think it's only 3x5 cm only. 30 bucks. sigh.
that's not enough. i'm gonna have to schedule a minor surgery to remove it which costs another rm700 in that dental clinic. without sedatives summore. so if i want sedatives, which i'm 100% sure i need them, i'll have to go to a dental specialist to do it. so yeah, i'm gonna visit the dental specialist. government wan lar...of course. MUCH cheaper.
the wisdom tooth the dentist plied out of my jaw today is just a temporary solution to my problem. this is so that i won't feel that much pain when i bite. u see, whenever i close my jaws, i'd be biting my gums - which the wise wisdom tooth is growing underneath. so, it's like i'm slamming my upper jaw onto a rock covered with sponge everytime i bite. yea...ouch.
the abnormal wisdom tooth causing all these pain is very much extraordinary. u know how we grow our teeth right? from the bottom of the jaw straight up? well, this wise wisdom tooth has to grow slanting with a 45 degree angle summore. now it's pushing its normal neighbour coz it wants SOME space.
not really its fault anyway. my jaw jz isn't spacious enough for it to grow properly. or rather, its other seniors grew too well, taking up its space.
whatever it is, i still have to remove it. it's a pain in the teeth.
i wanna eat ice-cream. fried chicken. bak kut teh. rendang daging. roast lamb. and every other chewable food.
without the nagging pain in the teeth kacau-ing, of course.
oh yeah, did i mention that after the surgery i'll have to rest at home for 2 days? and that my mouth most probably can't open wide for a whole week? and also, my mouth will swell like a fat pig for that whole week?
yea...i can't possibly do the surgery now. i still have classes ler. also, scheduling for a surgery at the gov hospital takes a long time.
the abnormal, wise wisdom tooth is stuck here with me. no...
I am stuck with the abnormal, wise wisdom tooth.
p.s. should befriend some dental specialist some day. dental procedure charges is so damn expensive.
p.p.s. no photo of the tiny x-ray of my teeth. i'm too lazy to transfer the pics to my comp. plus, i don't want my sexy tooth up on the web for all to see ^^
