day12

my gums (the part after the last molar is located) were swelling on thursday night, so i thought i'd go to the dentist on friday morning to have it checked. the molar tooth beside the swelling gums is not in a good condition, so i said to the dentist to pluck it out.

backtrack to 4 or 5 years ago, i was having my annual prophylaxis when the dentist saw some teeth that needs to be filled up (pasta). medyo mabigat ang kamay ng dentista that i couldn't tolerate the pain when she was cleaning a certain teeth (the last molar on my upper right jaw) before puting pasta (i'm not sure about the dental term, but this is the procedure where the dentists thouroughly cleans the teeth my blowing up air from a tube). so in a snap, i told the dentist to just pluck out the teeth. at hindi naman ako nagdalawang salita. she gathered her set of tools (torturing devices as i see it) and plucked out the poor molar. fast forward to 5 or 6 months after that, a new teeth sprung out exactly where the plucked out molar was! unbelievable! i should have submitted this to ripley's believe it or not!

so there, parang naging policy ko na that if a tooth causes me pain like hell, da hell, bunut kung bunut... weird thing, right after the dentist has taken an x-ray of my teeth, parang nawala ang pamamaga. so for now, i'm setting this impaktong ngipin aside. di ko muna sya iisipin until magparamdam sya ulit.
