Mary Have All Wisdom Tooth

Mary went for her 2nd wisdom tooth operation this evening. Mary was freaked out by her thoughts 2 days back due to her previous experience in wisdom tooth extraction.

Back in 2001, after o'levels. An X ray revealed a hidden tooth inside Mary's Gum. Instead of growing vertically out, this tooth actually grows horizontally. For those who had never came across such incident, this is actually more common in girls as they have smaller mouth and I'm 1 of them.

Mary don't like that dentist she always go at Jurong East. She has got a "own her 1 million dollar face". So, Mary went for other dentist. Mary can't recall how she got to know this specialist at Jurong Point. Might be because she working there that time. Professional, of cos charge a professional price. $780. This is a very interesting experience Mary would like to share. Mary's mum accompanied her there and she was actually invited inside the surgery room to view the whole process. And what so fantastic? Mary's eye wasn't covered up at all. She was viewing too! Looking at the big syringe inserting into her mouth. Watching her blood being suck away. Yum Yum. And whats more! She removed the whole wisdom tooth nicely out. Its still with her now. The doctor is so cool. Mary could only remember she is a ang mo. Mary got no idea how she looks like. What is that thing that freak Mary out? PAIN. Pain after the anesthesia wears off. Mary wanted to change a new gauze but couldn't replace the new gauze back nicely. Mary gave up. She sat on bed, pull a t-shirt from near by, open her mouth and let the blood and saliva flow out. What happens next she had no idea. Mary only remembered she went back Jurong Point that night. Went there to eat ice cream! Anderson's Ice Cream. The pain and swelling lasted less then 12 hours.

Things were going on well until 1 fine day, Mary noticed something growing out from the right side of the empty gum. SHIT. Not again. Ya, again. Wisdom tooth, again. And whats worst? It a lazy tooth again. Its lying down again. This time, an exposed tooth gave more problem. Mary tried to avoid another operation but wasn't that lucky. Becos of the gap, food got trap and soon, a big hole evolved. And the tooth was pushing. This tightens the gap inbetween the teeth at the front. Mary don't know who to look. Which dental should she go?

One fine Sunday, Christmas day. Mary met up with her friend. So happen that this friend of hers has a sister who is a dentist. Mary checked the prices through her friend. Mary waited till end of January before she made the appointment. Delay was nothing but becos Mary does not have the courage to go for the 2nd operation. Mary went for a checkup. She wonders how her friend's sister look like while she was waiting outside. The first question pop into her mind when she saw her. "Are you sure you are his sister? How could he have such a sweet looking sister. So different from him. He is so suai(this word is nth good when transleted in english)!!"

2nd Operation was set on the 1st of February. Had a Sake Sushi dinner before she went. Ya, Mary was alone. Her little lamb couldn't go cos no pets allow on bus. This time round the procedures are abit different. Mary was not allow to look cos was blind folded throughout the operation. This 2nd operation, the tooth was cut into smaller pieces. Mary was very calm. The dentist was asking again and again, you still alright? After the operation, dentist commented Mary was cool. haha. Mary think the one who is doing is operation is more cool.

Mary felt like crying the moment she left the room. No, there are no pain. Mary felt pathetic cos she was alone. Reminds her of the First Aid competition 6-7 years ago. Lets not talk about this here. After payment, Mary went over to Tiong Bahru Plaza and bought her favoutite ice cream. 750ml tub Venezia gelato. Mary's favourite flavour: Dark Chocolate and Tartufo. Yum Yum. Mary took a train home. Cos Mary don't want to be alone. Taking a cab is lonely. Pain starts when the train was at clementi.

This time round, Mary knows how to fight with the pain. The moment Mary reached home, she used a face towel and wrapped some ice with it. This towel sticked to Mary's face for the next 3 hours. Technical term this is known as cold compression. This reduces swelling. But Mary used this method to numb the area. A very good method. Pain killer don't work. Out of the 20 painkillers given by the dentist, Mary only too 2. The bad part of the 2nd operation was that the antibiotic sucks. Mary got chocked twice by the antibiotic which is in tablet form instead of the usual capsule form. It dissolves rapidly in water and Mary can't glup it down fast enough cos she can't stretch my mouth big enough to hold more water.

Looking at the bright side, wisdom tooth operation gave Mary a chance for to eat expensive ice cream!
