Third quarter last year i had my lower right third molar removed. Around March this year, my upper left third molar started aching. The pain that I feel from the latter was incredible! 500 mg of Mefenamic won't even help. It wakes me up during sleep, tears automatically fall from my eyes because of too much pain.
Friday, I was awaken by an extreme pain. I was really crying! I promised myself that this will be the last time that i'm gonna be feeling this way - "i'm gonna get rid of you, teeth!". I wasn't able to sleep that day.
Yesterday, marked a very memorable experience. I went to the dentist in the afternoon with Winston. The dentist told me that pulling third molars (especially the upper ones) are extreme - very easy or very painful. I started praying.
She injected my gums with anesthesia. Did some shaking of the tooth, and i was wondering how i can still feel what she was doing. She told me that I shouldn't be feeling it anymore. She even used the thing that's used for dental amalgalm "pasta" (ung pang-butas).
To make the loooong story of the looong process short, it caused me FOUR (4) sets of injections of anesthesia because I can still feel the pain. (In my last tooth extraction with her, i was injected once and my entire gums and cheeks on the right felt numb in no time). And there was no choice but to continue the process and successfully remove my tooth.
Finally, it got removed. But i was REALLY crying the whole time (FACT: Since my first bunot in grade 3, I NEVER CRIED!) And so the dentist jokingly told me, "if you will continue to cry, i'll end my career now" ("kung yak ka pa, aayaw na ko") But told her that i was crying because it was unimaginably painful and i was just glad it was a success.
When we got home, Naneeh and i finished 70ml of Selecta Supreme Rocky Road!!! - this is the best part after a tooth extraction that i look forward to eversince!
