Dentist Story

After reading Anedra's about dentist, I was inspired to write this entry. I'm afraid of dentist too and Angah, my second daughter inherited that.

I've got 3 of my wisdom teeth extracted. The 3rd, undergo a minor surgery as the root were growing horizontally.

I had pain for days. Being in UK, the dentist is like any private dentist in Malaysia and as a student the charges are covered by NHS (read:free). Though free, I delay delly until my face swollen and I can't chew a single thing! Nak dijadikan cerita, the first visit is just for the dentist to access the situation, give some ubat to reduce the pain and bengkak.

Second visit is THE DAY. I was sweaty since morning. Butterflies flying in every inch of my body, not only the tummy. The dentist started the procedure by giving me a few shots at my gum (Ouch! Ouch! Arghhhhhhhh!), my face feels so big, bigger than my bum! Then he starts drilling, cutting, pulling. I was so scared and keep thinking that I'm dying. Oh God, just don't let me die like this. I don't want to die with wide open mouth. I don't want to die virgin! Yup, I was still virgin then ;)

I survived. Feeling very tired and weak (hey, mentally, it is like world WAR) I went back to my hostel. I was given MC for 2 days. I couldn't feel my tongue, my gum, my teeth. By the time I can feel my tongue, it started to taste horrible, the blood the saliva. I have to spit. Went to the loo, and I spit into the toilet bowl. I missed! Second time spitting, missed again! Hiya... tak boleh aim.

It is a dry toilet, so I have to clean the lantai pulak. Lucky it is my gum that they shot. If it's my bum, it would be bigger mess to clean, if I MISSED...
