i met one of my biggest fear yesterday ( the other er lizards?).going to put on braces soon *finally* and so extracted 2 teeth that have been with me for 10 odd years. yah i have been damn afraid of dental visits since i was a pri school kid, i remembered that the first dental checkup at school had me crying so much that the dentist put me out of the school dental programme. bet she must be thankful for getting rid of me. then for another dental appointment years later i had to extract a dead tooth and it was a horrible experience.been delaying and delaying having braces till recently as felt that it was better now than never. haiyo damn nervous on the dentist chair yesterday but in the end the extraction was fine.if i knew it was like that i would have gone for it earlier.will be extracting 2 teeth next week, one of which is more problematic.ok will definitely be nervous again.

hmm..i would think that the aftermath of extraction is worse but not that bad too. numb lips and chin, dull ache that can be suppressed by painkillers,bleeding that won't stop so i kinda keep swallowing my own blood and yes the weird feeling of having 2 holes in ur mouth. now i cant even sneeze properly. bleah this is only the beginning of the torture..and the worse is i have to give up chocolate, icecream, brownies, muffins, etc ! biggest sacrifice man. i can't do without chocolates la.must enjoy my life now to the fullest.
