Wisdom

I know this picture looked kind of gross but it was a relief the moment the dentist extracted out my wisdom tooth. Going to the dentist for check up is one of my fears in life, I never like to patronize them unless I really do not have any choice. 

My last visit to the dentist was 1 year ago & the dentist had advised me to extract my upper left wisdom tooth as it was decaying. I was hesitating for a while & was told to go back & think about it before coming back to her. I came back to her 1 YEAR later with the persistent pain coming from that tooth & decided to bid goodbye with it :)

In fact, I was quite nervous 3-4 days before the appointment & was trying to act like nothing in front of my kids so that they wouldn't be like me when they have to go to dentist one day :P . Luckily a few goods friends (you know who you are) encouraged & teased me even before I went for the appointment. I had Sakae Sushi for lunch hoping the nice meal will calm myself down before I went for the "fear factor" show but apparently I was not really in a mood to indulge in any nice food that day. 

While waiting for my turn in the clinic, I took the chance to get my mum to bring YS for a haircut fearing that he will see my tense expression. I went to take another x-ray on my wisdom tooth & was told by the dentist on the possibility of surgery if simple extraction did not work. My whole body was stiff & straight throughout the whole procedure & after they numbed my gums I did not feel anything at all. Surprisingly this dentist that my mum recommended was quite gentle & she took out the tooth within a short span of time. So having 1 less wisdom tooth, does that make me a little bit less wiser?.....I wonder :P

And NO, I did not bring this tooth home for keepsake coz I do not believe in tooth fairy..haha
