A week ago, I experienced a very bad toothache. By this, I know that my wisdom tooth is "growing" hence the pain. In fact, I have been experiencing the pain for the longest time but I never bother to do anything about it as the pain is still bearable.
I went for an x-ray donkey years ago to check on my wisdom tooth. Apparently, both sides of my wisdom tooth grow horizontally and they are growing inside the gum. So, I will be experiencing the pain as they grow - which I did.
But last week was the worst. I can't even eat, can't even open my mouth to talk. So, I decided to make a visit to the dentist. As much I as hate visiting the dentist, I really have no choice as the pain has caused me so much trouble. The left tooth area was swollen and the size of the swollen was as big as a 10 cents coin (as what being said by the dentist) hence I agreed for an operation. They gave me few antibiotics and my gosh, it caused me nausea. But after few days, the swollen subside and I'm off for the operation which happened yesterday
Seriously, I wasn't ready for this. I was telling everyone how scared I was to do this surgery. I convinced myself that if I can survived 4 hours of labour pain, I should be able to survive this one too. But god, I was WRONG!
My body shivered the moment I sat on the chair in the operation room.
The dentist made a quick check on my tooth and immediately, she prep herself wearing a blue color surgery coat. After she put the anaesthetic jap on me, I can barely feel my mouth and all I see was the huge instruments that the doctor prepared on the table next to me. I feel like running out from the operation room, but I guess it was too late. I closed my eyes the moment I saw the light on top of me and pray that everything's going to be fine.
The first thing that I heard was the drilling sound from a big instrument, then comes the smaller sound of drilling and my heart was poundering hard. I can feel the energy that the doctor put on to pull out my tooth. Oh, I have a very stubborn wisdom tooth. And at one point, I think she korek my tooth out. And finally, I opened my eyes when I heard the doctor said "dah" which again, I was wrong.
She managed to pull my huge healthy wisdom tooth out. She was on her way to jahit the effected area when I suddenly open my eyes and I saw that huge black benang going in and out from my mouth. Boleh rasa macam doctor tu tengah mengait dalam mulut. And tears started to fall down from my eyes. The one thing that I regret doing - agreeing on this procedures.
Alhamdulillah, everything went well. I was still on the anaesthetic when I left the dentist. I even made few phone calls after few hours of the surgery. I started to feel the pain at 2-ish pm, and the pain, Masyaallah tuhan saja yang tahu. It was 100x painful than my post-natal surgery. I have never cried so much as I did yesterday due to the pain. This is a no-joke kind of pain.
The doctor actually suggested that I do the same procedure for my right tooth which I totally disagree. I will never step foot in a dentist ever again. I would rather give birth to another child than having to pull my tooth out. Like I said, this is one thing that I regret the most.
The pain is crazy even after 48 hours of surgery. Having to face it all by myself doesn't help much either. My face is still swollen. I can't eat (which made me hungry all the time) and it's painful, Ya Allah sakit sangat.
This is totally a worst nightmare for me. Never to cabut gigi ever again. NEVER!
