Today I
had both my left wisdom teeth removed. Like
Suze, I've been having problems with
them, particularly the one on the bottom. As
you can see on the image above there's a
little chunk missing. It does happen, the
fact that wisdom teeth pop out in the most
awkward part of your gum-line doesn't really
help. And my recent addiction to
Mortal Sin has a lot to do with their
painful demise. It's
Kat Mayo's
fault because she got me hooked! Hahaha!
Going to
the dentist doesn't really freak me out.
Even the sinister looking steel syringe that
they use to inject anesthesia doesn't
intimidate me, though the pain that goes
with it is something that I don't look
forward to. What I dread more is having to
stay up all night and not being able to do
any serious work the next day because of a
nagging toothache. Make no mistake, sitting
on that chair and having my wisdom teeth
removed is not an easy thing to do but it's
the lesser of two evils.
Notice the part of the wisdom teeth that's
imbedded. They look like hooks... the one on
top has three little ones and it looks like
a tripod, while the one on the bottom has
two big ones with slightly bent tips. The
hooks on the top one are so sharp that you
can use it as a weapon. It's probably why it
took so long to pull them out and why there
was so much blood.
As
far as I'm concerned I was just lying there
with my mouth wide open while the dentist
and his assistant tried to wrestle both
freakin' things out. I mean, it wasn't
comfortable but they were the ones who were
having a hard time. I find it amusing
actually, especially the part where the
suction tip came off and all of the sudden
blood splattered all over his uniform.
Hahaha! Then I realized it was my blood. Eww!
And
the sound... the sound of the actual
extraction. It's similar to the cracking and
crunching sound when you dismember a roast
chicken. Hehehe!
When
it was finished and I had the chance to sit
up and look around I saw blood on the floor,
more on the dentist's uniform and his tools
looked like a butcher's in an abattoir. And
I just sat there with a big, fat smile on my
face. Hehehe! - it must be the anesthesia!
Anyway I will go back next week just to
check if it healed properly. Coolness! :)
