I dreaded this few weeks.. Following my medical checkup earlier this month of which i was diagnosed with
sinus tachycardia and the doctor even suspected that my superb fast heart rate is due to
Hyperthyroidism. Went for thyroid function test(results still unknown yet, hopefully not hyperthyroidism) and i was referred to the cardiologist whom will advise on my state of fitness. My goodness juz imagine all the diseases and the medical terms that u learnt during clinical chem lectures came back looking for u! Anyway now its my wisdom tooth creating havoc..
Went to the dentist early this morning (my mouth is still numb). Had a X ray of my whole set of teeth which is quite fun. First the clinic assi got me to wear a protective gear, next u got to bite onto a probe of the equipment and then the equipment will circulate around your head. It kinda looks like some science fiction movie stuffs. Well the X ray showed i got 4 wisdom tooth of which 3 already partially came out and 1 is still buried under the gums. However the latter one is a silent killer cos its positioned in a way that once it try to protrude out, its going to push my front motar tooth out. So i better pray that it will to rest in peace. LOL
As for this particular wisdom tooth that got me to the dentist today, i was told by the dentist that it is pushing its way out resulting in cracking of my gums and it has become a pocket trapping all the food stuff underneath it, eventually leading to inflammation of my gums. As there are still slight tenderness of my gums, i was told that i can only undergo the surgery after the inflammation subsides so the dentist only disinfected the site and i was given some antibiotics and painkiller. Anyway the process may sound quite interesting for u guys but it hurts like hell. I juz cant understand why must we have additional teeth whereby there are already enough teeth for us to chew.
Oh ya another thing is that the wisdom tooth/ teeth in Asian people are normally buried under the gums.. so in my case does that indicates that i am weird.. Alright. Enough of all the teethy/ toothy thingy.... its time for painkiller!Hee
