Wisdom

Not the kind that I'm full of. Heh! I'm talking about this damn tooth that's trying to come out.


Dah tua bangka pun ada gigi nak tumbuh lagi?!

It started last Thursday. I woke up and noticed my right cheek was slightly swollen. I couldn't feel anything and when I tried to look inside, whatever was causing the swelling was too far back.

On Friday, the swelling had significantly increased. Plus, I had started to feel some pain. I couldn't brush my back teeth without hitting the soft spot. By lunch time, the swelling had also started to throb so I took half day off to go to the dentist. Since hubby was working in Cyber, I took the ERL there and he met me at the station.

The dentist took one look at my swollen face and made a bet, "I'm pretty sure it's your wisdom tooth."

She was right. Apparently the tooth had just started to break the gums and food had gotten trapped within. Since I couldn't brush that far back, the leftover food caused the swelling and apparently some pus.

Pus!! In my mouth!!!

Hubby is sooo gonna want to french kiss me after this.

The doctor couldn't do much, not until the swelling had subsided so she prescribed me some painkillers (I love!!) and some antibiotic (low dosage since I'm still breastfeeding). If the swelling hasn't subsided in a week, then she might recommend to do some minor surgery.

Surgery!! In my mouth!!!

I so did not sign up for this. *Sigh*.
