Dental trauma

Whoever says going for wisdom tooth extraction is not painful is lying to you. I decided to extract my right wisdom tooth as it has been giving me problems and trapping food. Since this was too much trouble and dentist said too much about trapping food will also cause decay and stuff, I decide to do a favour to my own being. Getting the wisdom tooth out.

It takes tremendous courage to reserve a slot and go for check-up and of course getting myself there. I carefully planned the schedule is such a way that I would be off for a week. My female dentist (I didn’t know anything about “should not go to female dentist story”), was very caring, giving vasaline, blanket and trying not to hurt me but the fact is, she cant drill out my root canal. The drilling continues and I can feel the pain building up. I made noises, tried to shift away from her and finally tears broke out. My arm feels numb as insufficient blood is flowing to my arms. However, the fact remains that she could not get the root canal out. She has to get a specialist to get it out and that cost me more. She stitched back the wounds and then I have to wait for another 3 hours for the specialist to arrive. Mind you, I had my mouth opened for the past two hours when I entrusted my pearlies to her.

Specialist came promptly at 7.30pm and with injection, explanation and extraction, stitching took less than 30 minutes. So, conclusion is that my dentist has not met the mark. This episode cost me $945 which half of it would be taken care by my company. Other than that, it has been a bad bad experience
