2nd April 2006(11am) was the D-day for Beau. It was the first time in his life that he is going to extract a tooth and it was a wisdom tooth somemore. He had been having tooth-ache for quite a while liao. But he's the kind that will cover his eyes when he see blood on tv show and extremely afraid of injections. Hence, you can see why he has been dragging on and on and not going to see dentist.
He actually made the appointment himself after hearing from his colleagues that this might affect those teeth besides it if it is not being pulled out. I went into the dentist room to give him moral support. The dentist was very pro. Told hubby that he will test if the area is being numbed. While doing that, he was actually trying to pull the tooth out liao. And it was over before we knew it. I saw the tooth and there was such a big hole. OMG! how come he can tahan to this extent? After we came out of the clinic, he told me he was perspiring cold sweat. I was then laughing away. He was clammy then... like a lizard. But the extraction process itself is not painful, it's the after-effect when the numbness goes off...
We took the tooth back with us. I cleaned and bleached it when we came home as he wanna keep it for memory sake.
I prepared a card for Beau to reward him for being so brave. But no pic taken of it at the moment. Luckily, his wisdom tooth are on the upper gum. It still hurt a bit till now.
I prayed hard that I don't have to extract my wisdom tooth cos I'm terrified of tooth extraction too. Moreover, mine are on the lower jaws. Will be even more pain. Can't even imagine right now.
I have a habit to floss and gargle after meals... hope this will keep my teeth in good shape.
