Bottom Right Wisdom Tooth Extraction

I had my bottom right wisdom tooth extraction today. It was painful. I had my bottom left wisdom tooth extracted a month ago and it was not painful. However, this one is really painful. I am in pain typing this post right now. Hiks... So sad.

Lots of local anesthetic... it was 1.5 hours (1 hour before) .... I was tensed... I had tears at some point of the procedure.... I prayed silently (it helps) my tooth was broken down to lots of pieces (instead of three in my previous extraction) and I completely hate the drilling sound...

During the process, my dentist (female) has to ask another dentist (male) to take over at several parts of the procedure... she said my roots didn't move at all... Both dentists were having difficulties taking out the roots of my wisdom tooth... I don't know if my dentist still remember, but I told her before that the roots of my teeth have hooks... So when the male dentist also had problem taking the roots out... I had to stop him and tell him that my roots have hooks... and he said, yes... how do I know? Well duh... I already had that problem since I was a teenager... but the male dentist was able to take out one of the roots and had my dentist clean up and took out whatever left. I had to take an x-ray after an hour of the operation to check all the roots were taken out and voila it's not... so I have to endure another half hour... and the male dentist had to come in to extract the left over root again....

Anyhow, after my dentist took out the top part of my tooth and started on the roots, I almost gave up and told her to just stop. Nevertheless, I thought, well I have made the decision to have it extracted so let's get it done. That really helps to ease my nerve. The male dentist even said I was brave to go through all those pain. He said not extracting the tooth was better now that I was in that situation. Well, yeah... I wouldn't have gone through the extraction if I knew ahead that it would be this painful. Haih.... However, with all those weird comments... I felt a bit calmer when the male dentist took over.  I think both dentists would rather not encounter my case LOL....

Before going to the dentist, I already have doubt on having this wisdom tooth extracted. Somehow, I felt that I shouldn't. However, I have made the appointment, and even after I consulted with my dentist, at the back of my brain or probably my instinct said I shouldn't. Yet, I still decided to have the extraction done. I mean logically I should do it now because if I delay then I wouldn't know when I would have the time to do it again. I am trying to get pregnant next month which means I can't do any extraction for oh probably in years... the baby will definitely occupy my time. So, my future baby has already affected my decision in my life even before conception. Isn't that amazing?

Anyhow, hopefully this pain will not get worse tomorrow and the rest of the week. My husband and I are going to Alishan for a short vacation this weekend. Gosh... I don't want the pain to be worse. Haih... What's need to be done is done ... So I guess that's it...
