Confession Pesakit Gigi

Pernah tak baca pasal confession kat fb? Ni terasa macam nak buat confession gak :(

Last Tuesday went to have my wisdom tooth extracted after holding on for about two weeks with chewing cloves and gargling with salt water. Yer lah nak bertahan masa Ramadhan and 1st week Syawal nak beraya. I wanted to have it done at the dentist where I did my right molar last time but hubby said jauhnyaaa... memang ler kalau diikutkan malas gak nak drive jauh2 so I decided to go to the nearby dentist. Besides, what could go wrong kan. Turned out there's plenty.

1) Takder kisah pun nak amik xray ke apa. Dulu kena xray sampai 3x just to be sure everything went out perfectly and no pieces left in the gum.

2) Cam nak koyak tepi bibir kiri ni tempat dia menyendal peralatan masa nak cungkil gigi out or put the drill and what not. Lama nak ketawa ker bersin ker kena tahan tepi mulut ni. Nak makan pun tak boleh bukak besar2.

3) Macam nak tercabut jaw masa dia drill and korek2 sekuat hati. I have to hold my jaw sebab rasa macam nak dislocated jer. Bukan nyer hold dengan tangan tapi kuatkan jaw tu, hold with my facial muscles or whatever way possible to counter the push received on my teeth and gums.

4) Macam bangga plak dentist tu the procedure took 1 hour 15 mins when I told her last time it took 2 hours. Hey... I don't mind longer time as long as less aggravating on my gum and jaw. Last time I was quite surprised with the recovery time since I can't take pain killers. The after pain was bearable. This time... susah nak cakap.

5) Dah lebih seminggu, masih tak boleh open my jaw fully. Yawning, sneezing,  eating, semua kena bertahan2. Masih sakit telinga... kan urat2 gigi tu dekat dengan telinga. Still rasa bengkak dalam telinga. Still rasa urat2 gigi sampai ke depan ni sakit2. Kadang2 ada rasa macam want to yank all my teeth out.

Dah seminggu gi klinik tu lagi sekali, cek jahitan and tanya kenapa masih sakit. Different dentist this time, tapi dia kata everything OK and I'm still going thru healing process. Huaarrggghhh... lama nyer healing. Lepas tu dia kata since gigi top tak buang maybe that's why sakit coz terkena gum. Takder nyer kena mengena dengan gigi atas tu. The pain doesn't come from top tapi dekat gusi tu. Hubby kata dah tua sebab tu healing lama. Waarrrgghhh... lagi takpuas hati. Hmmpphhh....

Pengajaran: kalau dah jumpa dentist yang bagus tu, stick with them especially procedures yang serious macam surgeri buang gigi bongsu ni. Kalau scaling or cabut gigi biasa OK lagi.
