Today I'm recovering over my dental surgery that happened yesterday morning at The Dental Surgery in The Pacific Medical Centre in Blacktown at 9:30am. I had to get two of my wisdom teeth removed on my right side as it was creating a huge ulser and there was no room for the wisdom teeth. I had been putting up with the ulser and pain all weekend. I was extremely nervous sitting in the chair. I had never been to this surgeon (Dr Lipworth) before so that added to my nervousness even though he has been practicing for 18 years. Lucky my dad was there for moral support.
The most painful part of it all was the three needles he used at the start of the procedure. They hurt so bad that I let out a cry at one point. The Dr then started with the procedure with the dental nurse at the ready. I never thought being awake whilst two people operated on my mouth could be so scary! Hell I was shaking with fright the whole time even though I couldn't feel a thing after the needles. If any of you have to face what I went through I wouldn't recommend a local anesthetic because you are awake the whole time. If you do, just close your eyes or look away which is what I did.
The pain after the procedure didn't really kick in until 1pm after I got up from a small nap. So I took two Nuerofen tablets after I had lunch of yummy fish, mash and peas.
Today I'm going fine but I'm not closing my mouth fully because it's still tender in the back. I'm just glad it doesn't hurt all that much. I'll put up a photo later today of my teeth for you to be grosed out about! lol
