So on Thursday, I went for my wisdom tooth surgery after work at tooth angels.
Had to extract four wisdom tooth and two of them were slightly tricky as they were already almost horizontal and impacting my other tooth.
Firstly, I want to make clear that I am probably a person who fears pain more than anything in this world.
Injections, a fall, a paper cut and I whine like no tomorrow.
And everyone has been scaring me about wisdom tooth extractions.
Some of them only extracted two and couldn't talk for a week and felt extreme pain.
My colleague even told me how he was about the pass out because of the pain during surgery and after.
So trust me, I was fucking scared and dreading it.
Despite everything, I want to say I love my doctor, who is one of the most well known for wisdom tooth extractions in Singapore.
Dr Mark Chia.
I felt no pain at all during the whole surgery.
And injections were nothing more than just slight pressures.
NO PAIN AT ALL.
Dr Chia was like "testing, testing" and I expected to feel a burst of pain during injections and when he said " done ", I was shocked cos I barely felt anything.
He injected quite a number of times cos he found
more nerves in the midst of surgery.
The nurses were all extremely attentive and consoled me throughout the whole process, explaining to be in detail of what I should expect.
Was shaking and trembling the whole way, even on the dental seat although I felt zero pain.
COS EVERYONE SAID IT WAS SUPER PAIN AND I WAS EXPECTING THE PAIN TO COME.
The sounds of drilling were driving me insane though it was painless and I kept scaring myself with images in my head.
Dr Chia covered my eyes the whole process and gave me a blanket.
I think it would even be possible to fall asleep during the surgery if I were calmer.
What I was even more shocked about was I only felt him working on two teeth and he said he was done.
I was like "ALL FOUR?"
Dr chia said: "Yeah, fast right? "
If you hear everyone out there, even my brother, two of his wisdom tooth extraction took an hour and a half.
Another friend of mine took one hour on each tooth.
I would have passed out if my surgery took that long.
But Dr Mark Chia was fast and efficient.
Four of my wisdom tooth extraction only took 30-35 mins in total.
FAST RIGHTTTTTTTT
AND NO PAINNNNNNNN
Okay, Day 3 after surgery today and the healing process has been going smoothly.
On the first night, I was still dripping blood but pain was manageable.
Day 2 and 3: Pain was barely there, I was just very sore and my face tripled in size due to swelling, which is extremely normal.
So right now, I'm feeling no pain but just hating the swelling and how ugly I look right now.
Keeping my fingers crossed that swelling goes down today so I can work tomorrow.
Yup, this sums up everything and I highly recommend anyone to extract your wisdom teeth there.
A little steep in price and in town area, but nevertheless,
it's so worth it because I am not drowning in pain now.
About $800-$900 per tooth.
And I did it at The Central, Clarke Quay.
Tooth Angels.
