And yes i had this sudden sharp pain that came for a good 5 minute at 11plus on Thursday night while watching tv. Since it went away, I didnt give a damn about it... until... 3.30am, I woke up from the pain again! Horrible. It was so bad. It pained from the gum, to the ear to the back of the head. I nearly woke Mike up, but it went away, so I went back to sleep.
The next day, I was at home working when that pain came and it started to feel unbearable. I put on ice, I rinsed with salt water, I didnt help much. When Mike came back, he fetched me to Q&M Punggol Place. It was an ang moh dentist on duty and she said there is no other way to solve it except to EXTRACT MY WISDOM TOOTH. I had great second, third thoughts about it. I went to Hougang and seek 2nd opinions at Dental Wong (Ave 8). Nurses all asked me to consult my gynae first.
I went home, praying all would be good. But it turned out to be the most painful night in my life. At midnight, while bathing the pain hit me so bad, I was crying with tears flooding down my cheeks. Mike heard me crying and he came over to the room, and off we went to SGH (believed to have 24 hour dental help - as of google) When we reached there, the nurse said she cant help because even if she were to call in the dentist officer to come, he can only stop my pain, but given my scenario, there is alot of pain killers that I couldnt take - only panadol. So I bear with my FREAKING PAIN and we drove around Serangoon and Hougang Area, hoping to find a 24 hour dental. But no luck!
Went home, the pain went down like maybe 10%, I grabbed an ice pack/towel, bumped it on my right cheek and I fell asleep. It was 3am.
Seriously, in Singapore, u can have all kinds of pain in the middle of the night, but NOT TOOTHACHE. NOONE CAN HELP U!
The next day, I went to Q&M Hougang Central to extract my tooth with Doc Keffe Lim (or i dunno how to spell his name). He sounds like a Malaysian. Nice guy, no airs, and could see he tried his best and tried to be assuring. As I cant take x-rays, he cant do surgery for me, only to pluck out the crown and to leave the root there. He said the bone will cover back nicely. 95% of the patients have no complaints. But, if I wanted it clean, I can choose to take it out (again) after I delivered.
I was on local anesthetics, it wasnt painful, but definitely could feel the pressure when he tried to PULL MY TEETH OFF. I know he tried his best. And i think Guan Yin Ma is watching over me. I prayed hard for baby m's safety as I soothed my tummy.
Din really feel the pain, but the itch was BAD after I woke up from my nap. It was madness itchy!!
I wanted to eat mash potato for dinner and so Mike brought us to compass point to eat KFC. He ordered 2 pc for me too. (-__-'") I tried lor. He tore into smaller pieces for me and I tried. And yes, I could finish one pc. haha. And my muscles are tired already. I finished the Medium whipped thou. :) Love it. After which when we wanted to shop for my havaianas, I felt faint already, like really tired and non-stop yawning. Gosh, was I worried and scared. It was really not a good feeling to feel faint.
And off we go back, but before that, he drove to POPEYEs to buy 2 large mash for me, in case I got hungry.
I was able to eat on the actual day this time round, compared to the first time I had my wisdom tooth extracted. But that was the WHOLE tooth, and this time round its only 1/2 the tooth, not sure if that made a difference.
And the itch hasn't stopped since i plucked my tooth on Saturday. Pls pray for me that it heals soon! Its torturous.
Thanks all.
