goodness i can't sleep. . .

for 2 straight days i've woken up exactly at 2.30am for the same friggin reason! i never knew extracting teeth could be such a traumatising and painful experience.

1stly the dentist would give me jabs to numb my gums etc. . ..BUT EVEN THE JABS HURTS.

After, they give you 10 mins for the numbing to take place. at the same time u can use it to mentally prep for the worse.

If you're not relaxed or prepared enough, the dentist will ATTEMPT to help you out now.

Dent: You have strong bones know teohong, it makes the whole process a LITTLE harder.

Me: Wow, thanks.

THAT, totally made me lose my calmness and start to panick.. nice attempt la dent.

As for the rest of the process, i cannot describe, cos i was busily closing my eyes and making myself think of anything but the whole traumatising process.

But based on feeling right, just imagine yourself as a red wine bottle and your tooth as the cork. i believe its just like the same process when people try to uncork you and get the red wine flowing.

But the problem is, your red wine takes a long time to stop flowing. . took mine 1 and a half days to stop though.

the bottom line is, extracting teeth hurts like mother.
