My first dental appointment in eons.

The whole braces procedure was a familiar protocol to me: x-ray, teeth mould, cleaning. What i wasn't prepared for however, was the impromptu surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. Having heard so many stories about the pain involved, i was a little scared. But the doctor who operated on me was really nice and even gave me a moo moo plushie to hug lol!

So apparently, i had this strange wisdom tooth that grew diagonally upwards instead of vertically upwards. Which means, it is actually a fully grown tooth that is three-quarters buried.

Ouch. i can still feel the drilling pressure deep into my gum.

And now. i can only drink from a straw, follow a restricted diet and faithfully take four different types of tablets after every meal.

Whoa. Woe.
