Doctor: Ok Jason. Now we will extract 2 wisdom teeth from your right side. 1st let's start with injections.
I received 3 injections above and another 4 injection below my mouth. About one minutes later the right side of my tongue, upper and lower lips started to feel numb.
The experience was pretty scarry and weird. The feeling of having a numb tongue in the mouth was just like keeping a tasteless meat in the mouth. You wont even know if you bite it.
Then I was waiting and waiting for about half an hour as the doctor was still attending to another patient. I used that time to make some photo from my handy, sent some sms and play some games in my handy.
When the time came....
Doctor: Today I guess we will just exact the teeth from one side. If there is no problem, then we will decide if you want to extract the teeth from the other side.
Jason: What problem would it have?
Doctor: Namely take very long time to extract.Ok. Lets start with your upper wisdom tooth on the right side.
During the process I felt that my tooth was forced to be pulled out by spanner...
mouth I__I *
Imagine that the picture above is the tooth. On the left side of is my mouth. On the right side there is one asterisk( Just a symbol to determine the position for clarity for my explanation).
On the right side of the tooth I felt that it was a bending moment forced it to be pulled down. About 10 seconds later...
Doctor: Ok... It is out. Now we will extract the lower one. The lower one is more complicated and we wont use the same method. 1st we will break it and take them out from pieces.
Jason: ergh ergh...........( as I couldnt speak at that time)
The doctor 1st cut the gum opened so that the tooth could be exposed. (As the lower wisdom teeth were still hidden under the gum) And then...
Doctor: Now I am going to drill it into half.
sound effect: ziz!!!!!!!! ziz!!!! ziz!!!!!!!
Doctor: Now I am going to break it into half. You will hear a cracking sound like a rock.
sound effect: KRAK!!! (This was the most scary part)
It took quite a while for the doctor to crack the tooth successfully. So...
sound effect: KRAK!!! KRAK!!! KRAK!!! KRAK!!!
Doctor: Ok. Done. Do you still want to carry on with the other side?
Jason: ergh ergh...... ( I meant YES)
Ok. Another 7 injections. The procedure was still the same. But it took longer for the doctor to extract them out.
Finally it was over. I was told that I cant do sport for one week, no coffee (oh no!!!) ,no smoking and no alcohol drinks. ..
I was told by the doctor that I should take antibiotic just in case I have Kieferhöhle. (Kieferhöhle is a hole between gum and nose. The air can flow through it)
The doctor has already check that I have no Kieferhöhle but just in case.
Ok. I could finally go home now. (At 4.55pm) My tongue, lips were still numb at that time. I needed to walk to a farmacy to buy the antibiotic and pain killer, and then walk home.
Trust me, the feeling of having a numb tongue and lips is totally not fun. You wont even know that blood is coming out. I realised that while walking home when I saw my face from a car window. I was holding 2 ice pack on my faces while walking home.
Until 7.30pm, I still couldnt feel my tongue and lower lip. Shit... I was wondering if my jaw nerve was affected. I coudlnt sit still, wondering what my future would be if I am handicap if this way. I wouldnt be able to taste food anymore...and so on..
But then I am also trying to convience that myself that I received more injection at the lower part than the upper part. So it would take longer.
Until 9.00pm.... oohhh Thanks God... I got back the feeling...But then... I found out something..
I couldnt keep in my inner mouth tight , as if when I was trying to suck in my mouth and close my lips at the same time, there was bubbles coming out from my gum.
OK... thats it. I have Kieferhoehle. One of the risks which was mentioned before the operation.
So I waited until the next day and told the doctor about it during the check up.
Then Congratulation!!! I had to go through the 2nd operation , which I didnt expect at all!!
ok.. Another 3 injections above.
Now I should not blow my nose hard, I should not sneeze through my nose and have to keep on taking the antibiotic for 2 weeks.
Sigh... what a experience.....
