I've been having a nagging gum pain due to one of my wisdom tooth trying to erupt lately, so today, I've made the decision to get it removed after many months of doubt because the tooth was close to a nerve so if i could hold off then that would be ideal, but I've had it! I couldn't even enjoy
Veggielicious because I couldn't bite without pain...I wonder why they call it wisdom teeth...They aren't all that wise, all they do is cause pain and cavities...
I got off work early (did I mention that I started work at
Wholefoods and stopped working at
Feelgoodguru? Long story short, transit took 2 hours and the ex-manager seems to like to pick on me. She is now a regular employee because Moira, the owner decided that she didn't need a manager. ;)) to get to the oral surgeon's clinic. It seemed scary at first because they put me on an IV drip for sedation (which didn't really work for me because I was as clear and awake as when I finished a good workout), blood pressure cuff, oxygen mask for my nose, and some other stuff on my fingers. Turned out that the whole procedure only took about 5 minutes or less! I was not dizzy at all even with the sedation thing.
I got home after that and realized that I FORGOT TO ASK FOR MY TOOTH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......:(
I used to have a tooth collection when I was younger. Whenever one comes off, I put it in a jewellery case x) Then one day it fell on the floor and all the teeth went flying. I couldn't find all of them...It was a very sad moment, and I stopped collecting teeth ever since then. But still, I want to see what a wisdom tooth looks like! x(
This is simply a picture found on google. They have really large roots O.O no wonder it bleeds so much.
Anyway, since I couldn't eat anything for now, I used this as an excuse to do a juice cleanse :) I had
beet apple ginger carrot juice when I got home, and for dinner I had a weird but delicious juice made of
green pepper, carrots, bokchoy, cabbage, spinach, kale, and GARLIC. It was the first time I've ever put garlic in my juice, but it turned out really good! Besides, its garlic season now! :D
Ah, I hope you're not in too much discomfort now and that your mouth feels a lot better after this-- wisdom teeth can really be a drag.
ReplyDeleteAlso the one wisdom tooth I've had out so far shattered and I was so sad about it, so I'm always glad to hear other people admit they wanted to keep theirs too.
Surprisingly I'm not in a lot of pain!(knock on wood). I guess the juices helped a ton cuz of the enzymes and vitamin C! I was also having aloe vera, which they say is really good for healing :) I bet a lot of other kids have tooth collection too hehehe
