YEAH..... surgery is over!
Amazingly it did not hurt! my last experience with another dentist was bad, he missed e nerves, used a blunt needle and pulled e teeth out before the anesthetic even settled.
The one i got was good, 27 years of practice, yeah i do expect him to be good.
But e truth was, i seriously wanted to cancel e appointment yesterday - fearing e worse. ( like e scapel breaking when he was cutting my gums or something like that, drilling too far in etc)
My tolerence for pain is low lah.
i tried to delay e procedure for as long as i can. my appointment was at 10 i arrived early but i decided to sit on e bench outside e clinic for awhile, 1/2hr past, then e dentist spotted me.
"Hey hello, come in."
"How nervous or not?"
"No la no pain la, just e injections will hurt a little"
"I'll try to do it in record time"
LOL.... Record time it was around 45 mins for both sides
i sat down uopn e dentist's chair.
He had everything laid out for me by e dentist chair.
Hey not too bad.... except for that big long syringe and two vials of anesthetic there.
"I need e toilet"
yeah ok so i took an extra long time to do so, naturally.
came back sat down and the assistant gowned me with an extra big necking, my immediate reply was,
"Woah why so big, to catch all e bloody yeah"
"No lah... just well.... you know just a bigger necking"
So e dentist walked in and asked his assistant "so left or right first" LOL as if to ask someone in a torture chamber, "eh wanna chop your left or right hand off first?"
so he placed some surface anesthetic and then injected, not too bad comparing to my previous dentist which felt like he used a crude steel bar to pierce my gums and i could literally feel my gums splitting.
This time it was nice an gentle.... nice and sweet.
5 minutes later, he came in and rubbed my lips "All this belongs to me now hehe"
i didnt reply. what do u expect me to reply lol...
So he tooked out his "Power" tools and began.
First he made an insission with his scapel and bagan to cut as if cutting a slab of meat, i could hear him cutting round my tooth.
with that done, he used various tools that look like screw drivers and scrapped excess flesh off e teeth before using a drill and splitting e tooth into two and prying it out.
Right bottom and left bottom wisdom teeth split into two.
Thank God it did not hurt and that his tube for sucking saliva or any liquid for that matter, was opaque in colour. wouldnt like to see how much blood your losing yeah, physicologically trumatising for the patient.E drilling was unbearably loud though.He even lectured me while going through all e processes, talk about on site learning lol.He then stitched me up with 4 stitches on each side, to actually see e needle covered in blood and blood dripping down the stitch line when he pulled it out... shudder man... Stitches
Done! Thank you doctor Lim... was so well done.Headed down to guardian to get medication and painkillers not noticing that i was drooling blood all the way hahaa... unaware that i couldnt feel my saliva dripping down upon my lips.Got my tablets and tried to take them, lol filled my mouth with water but could not judge the amount because it was so numb i overfilled it, on top of that i couldn ot close my lips and the water just came out as a red running river. haha should have seen e faces of e people around me.Anyway, i've got to go now. pain is setting in and i think i should get some rest...
