had my wisdom tooth op ytd morning at alexandra hospital, and it was quite an experience, i'll say.

the operation itself was quite fast actually, and nth too scary abt it..except for the fact tt i could actually hear the sounds of the operation ongoing ard me when they did it, because i was under local anesthetic, in which i got jab multiple times all over the inside of my mouth and gums to ensure the effectiveness.

i was removing my lower and upper left wisdom tooth, and when they started with the lower one, i could actually hear the whining of the drill bit and feel the vibration of the drill gg into the core of my teeth and also the sounds of the drilling; even though there was no pain at all. i closed my eyes and tried to go to slp but somehow i just stayed awake throughout the entire op.

when they were done with the lower one, i heard the dental surgeon saying she was gg to use alot of force to remove the upper one, and i was like ok.. next thing i knew, there was a plier of sorts clamped to the upper tooth and alot of force applied to just pull it clean out of the socket. of course, i could also hear the creak-crack sounds of the tooth separating from the gum and the tearing of the gum tissue. quite digusting, i thought.

next came the stitching up and i could again hear and feel the pulling of the thread or whatever it was they used but no pain at all. finally, i was done. a piece of cotton gauze was stuffed into my mouth and i was presented with my souvenir of the 2 wisdom teeth tt i had removed.


looks like 3 instead of 2 teeth because the ones below are actually the 2 halves of the lower tooth that they drilled into to extract.

i was released into the observation room to sit and be observed for any complications whatsoever for the next half hr and also briefed on what i should do, not do to prevent any serious complications after i went home. and basically, i couldn't eat or drink anything at extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, or anything tt requires vigorous action of the mouth, i.e. chewing. i was also advised to swallow my saliva at all times and not to spit as this would aggravate the wound..no smoking or consuming of any booze for the next 2 weeks also. sian.

with tt, i was given my 6 days of mc (whoo hoo!) and fixed an appointment for removal of stitches next week and released to the pharmacy with my prescription.

I received a single shot of novocaine on each side. Not even a shot for each wisdom tooth they were going to remove. And then I got to feel the tugging and hear the popping sound. WOOOOO! And then I bled until I passed out later that night..at home, alone. WOOOO again!
