today is probably the worst day in recent times..
i woke up feeling tt my stomachache is going to be back. it has been haunting me since the weekends (act to be exact, for 7 years already). then off to school to start the first day of my year 5 internship term. everything was ok until lunchtime.
i went to see a dentist bcoz my lower back tooth was hurting alot. after his examination, he said tt its the upper teeth tt are hurting. so he suggested tooth-filling for one and extraction for the upper wisdom tooth. he act took me by surprise coz i was only expecting either cleaning or tooth-filling. so i said ok since tts the only solution. fear started to build in me (given tt it is china).
the tooth-filling went well den after tt came the anesthesia. after the injection, he waited for awhile den asked me whether i felt the numbness, so i said a little. WITHOUT even testing the effects, he started the extraction. to my HORRID, there was no drill and no machines. juz him and the nurse with a hammer and nail and pliers. sounds like a horror show huh.. so he started planting the nails at different spots on the tooth and the nurse will hit it several times with the hammer. and by hit, i mean with full strength! my whole head was shaking with every stroke and the nurse had to stabilize my head. i felt like my whole head was gonna explode and i cannot breath. to make things worst, they dun even provide suction. i kept thinking tt i was going to choke and die on my own blood and saliva.
then came the most painful part. bcoz he tried removing it for like 3 times (with almost 15 knocks) and it still cant work, he decided to put the nail in between my tooth and my gum. given tt the anesthesia sucks to the max, it was hell painful!!! imagine knocking a nail into ur gum and u can feel it.. i felt like i was dying at that moment. the pain radiated all the way up my nose and to my head. finally like after 5 tries, he got the tooth out. phew! was my first reaction. den after putting in some gauze it was done! hurray.. but i was wondering there isnt any need for stitches? will the wound close liddat? he dint even prescribe me with antibiotics and painkillers. i had to ask for it..
throughout the whole process, i kept thinking tt i will get an infection soon. haha. total insecurity.
worst dental experience ever, hands down!
but lucky junie was there to calm my nerves and listen to my complains. haha. thanz! =)
oh and guess what, i found a chipped off part of my tooth later on, in my mouth! how safe is tt. lucky i din swallow it.
now i appreciate the dentist in spore, although the price is so much steeper. it's totally worth it!
