The aftermath: Removal of the wisdom tooth

So its 8:20 AM and I’m behind a cabinet where I should be. At least that’s what I thought. The clock ticked and ticked so it got 8:30 and still nothing, no-one is called in. I was getting nervous but then suddenly the doctor came out of the blue from other way and said: “oh you’re here, that’s the wrong cabinet thought, we’re on the upper floor”. It was nice from her to search me up rather than just write me off. Last time it was that cabinet I waited, but this week that cabinet was in repairment or something like this.

Anyway, in the cabinet, there was some new tech. TV on the ceiling. I was like hmm okay that’s kind of neat. To calm me down they put on some African animal videos. But what I noticed was that there was Skyrim music also coming from another side of the cabinet. In the head, I was like “Aww hell yeah”. I was amazed because I listen to that kind of music pretty much on a daily basis.

There was also some slight changes to the operation. Last time when I went to the wisdom tooth pulling. Then I saw everything, the bloody tools, hands, gauzes and so on. Like I can handle blood, but when it comes to teeth and their surgeries then I wouldn’t prefer to see those things when coming in and out from my mouth. But this time there was a blanket on my head and only the mouth-hole. So I couldn’t see anything than a blue sheet.

Before the operation, I got anesthesia so we waited a bit before the carving of the teeth. Because the tooth had to be carved into 2-3 pieces to get it out. I didn’t feel pretty much anything, only in one time a slight nerve touching. I think they started approaching the root so the doctor injected some more anesthesia there which felt for a moment like just a pinch. But after that, I didn’t feel pretty much anything except for the force that was pushed to my jawline. But even that was mostly mild.

When they got the first piece out then I felt relief. When they started the main pulling just after the piece then I understood that they’re trying to do it without the section. I had some skeptic thoughts because last time they also tried but couldn’t so they cut a lot of my gum open. But this time they pulled it right off and it hardly was painful. Finally, they made 2 stitches and put some gauzes to make sure to stop the initial bleeding.

In conclusion, I’m holding some cold on my jaw to ease the swelling and all went a thousand times better than last time. Thank you all (I mean doctors in this context) who are studying and pursuing their professional career in Estonia.
