dental visit

My, oh my! Apparently, lucky moi needs to undergo surgery to remove both of my bottom wisdom teeth and(!) as if that's not making you scream yew! ouch! and get you screeching in your chair, moi needs to extract both of my top wisdom teeth as well; how fun, and I am so not enjoying it.

nice dentist lady told me that anyone sane will, of course, not do all four teeth at one shot, and decided to first extract my top left tooth, which as she shown me earlier, is rotting and decaying with nice lines and cracks of black. The procedure was not that bad, as I was given three(3!!!) anesthesia shots into my gum, yes indeed, into my gums; rumors of such shots being excruciatingly painful are not exactly 100% true. The assistant then proceeded to hold my head with both(!!) of her hands and dear dentist quickly, and swiftly did something; my eyes was shut ever since The Assistant held my head with her hands(still in shock!); trust me all you darlings reading this out there, I could have swear that was a scene absolutely perfectly slated to be in your next summer hollywood blockbuster about how dentist and their assistants are actually all aliens cutting up us human beings. It was a very very fast procedure, and not as painful as I had expected. I am all hyped up for the other extraction scheduled on next Saturday! Yeah right.

Saw the x-rays of my bottom wisdom teeth, and boy do these teeth have a wandering life of their own! Both of them are grown in a complete gravity defying manner of being horizontal! Actually there are perfectly horizontal. So horizontal that they form the X and Y axis with their neighboring tooth! Decided to go for surgery in July after I finished my internship and before starting my term 3B, so that moi will have ample time to rest and not kick and punch my fellow school mates by being a even more distracting force around campus.

Anyways, I've decided to kickstart my first photos on this blog with a BANG!, and what better way is there other than posting my forst widom tooth extracted?! I can so hear you guys and avid readers out there screaming for it already, so here you go!
