Went to NUH Dental again! Haha.. now, I think the receptionists will have known me… been seeing them at least once every week…<\/p>\n
Dr Ong had already placed the 8 separators in between the molars. Those were to create space for the braces. After that, he realised that the 2 premolars had not been removed yet, and thus send me for extraction again…<\/p>\n
Once again, the needle. Once again, the hamster feeling. This time is the whole upper lip! It's still feeling numb now… The extraction took quite a long time. 2 doctors took turns… once was Dr Egwin Yeo, the one who filled my molar and cleaned my teeth last Friday, and the other one, I did not know, and did not ask also… hmm… they said those were some strong teeth… if I had a choice, I wouldn't remove them too… Finally, the 2 got pulled out, and I am left with 2 less teeth… 2 strong, healthy teeth. Sorry teeth…<\/p>\n
This extraction is more painful than the operation! Perhaps it's because I've been given painkillers for the op. The doctor advised me to take Panadol if the pain is unbearable. Never mind. I endure… no problem…<\/p>\n
At least the bleeding stops, for now. No hot drinks for me again…<\/p>\n
Next appointment: Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
