"Impacted Tooth!"

An impacted tooth is a tooth that fails to fully pass through the gums.

And an "impacted tooth" was the reason why I need to have my wisdom teeth pulled out, and usually have to be removed by an oral surgeon.


I had asked people around what was it like for them, "Don't worry!"; "It won't take long!"; "Just relax. You can still eat."..

And alas!
It was my turn.
I had to pee in the middle of the surgery cause I couldn't hold on any longer. I wasn't expecting to be at the dental chair for an hour! (the surgeon said "thirty minutes. My ass!)

Anyways, continue with my story.
I was told I have to pull out the gauze inside my mouth after an hour. And coward as I am, seeing blood inside kinda' ticked me. But I just have to do it. I was glad I took patient in this for I wouldn't think there were 3 gauzes!



With my low pain tolerance, they gave me 5 shots of anesthesia. I personally think the hardest part for me was not during the surgery, it was the recovery almost killed my whole enthusiam.

I couldn't open my mouth. (So eating on my left side is out of the picture)

Doctors advised me to have lots of lots of ice cream. That didn't help either.

I am the kind of person who only drinks intensively "hot" soups. "hot" water. "hot" stuffs! (yes, even in summer).

The pain was just incomparable.

Let you know soon how will I deal with this pain. *praying*
