first step into braces
Saturday, March 5, 2011 || 6:03 PM
ok. so the braces thing is coming true after all
i got my two pre molars plucked out of me yesterday morning
u know.. when the dentist plucked them out, i din feel a thing
just lots of pressure
cos of the pulling
apparently, i think it caused a lot of pain receptors and fibres to be involved
so now i have this dull aching pain at my gum area
sigh... not a pleasant experience
but nonetheless, for braces
for my mum who wants me to have much more beautiful smile
oh why the heck am i undergoing such torment?!?!?!!!?!
T.T
ok.. so i went to the dentist early on fri morning
the day i was suppose to hand in my patho assignment
stepped into the clinic, the assistant told me i can pluck teeth today actually
so i thought. why not?
ok lo. so go ahead to pluck
oh tell me. why am i so dumb?
i only thought that i would be getting my braces put on faster
and that i would be able to get use to it faster etc
oh wells..
dentist prepared the stuff
looked at my x ray
then say ok can pluck
rights..
applied some topical analgesia (pink in colour, but tasted like cherry medicine. i din quite like the taste :x)
after which, he waited a while
then gave me local anesthetic
i have to admit. my first few encounters with it wasnt pleasant at all
in fact, i fear the dentist needle more than i fear the ward needles
somehow, the needle just seem bigger in comparison
and much more sturdier
like it can cause more damage
or maybe its cos the entire needle and syringe are like one package?? in metal?
omg like those torture scene
they use these kind of equipment to torture the prisoners
after the LA jab, i was told to wait 15 mins for it to take effect
then i went in for the teeth to be plucked
ok. this has to be my maiden experience
plucking teeth while they are still healthy/fine
my tooth refuses to budge
and the dentist had to rock it quite hard
oh wells.
the teeth like the owner quite stubborn eh?
haha
till now i'm still not sure what are the teeth he plucked out called
think is the first bicuspids.. yea
omg i din know they can be such bitches and cause me so much pain :(
apparently, yesterday's painkillers work pretty well on me
but today afternoon, my cox decided that i shall not be put out any more
so my painkillers are not working :s
this is baddd
im like trying all the odd therapies to manage my pain
like distraction, massage, cold pack
none seems to be working
the cold pack like seemed to make it worse
it amplifies the pain apparently
sigh
i'm such a loser
my gums feel swollen and i have a dull aching pain at my lower jaw line
and on top of this, i know i have to go through this again the next extraction
i still have to extract another two more
oh god. help me pull through this
ugh. i cant seem to concentrate on ath cos of the pain
sigh..
and the next dental visit, i will ask for more painkillers from the clinic to curb my pain
i concluded from this that i have a SUPER LOW PAIN THRESHOLD
T.T doesnt help does it?
anw, i will try and post photos of my 4 extracted teeth.
though wont be pretty.
but its interesting to see how healthy my teeth looked rights? :p
