This clearly says something about me.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, one was impacted, growing sideways and all that. I was at Uni at the time, and had to schedule getting it out during a term break.<BR/><BR/>I'd heard all the horror stories of people getting it done in hospital under a general, and waking up to find bruises on their chest. so I didn't want that.<BR/><BR/>My dentist took out the dodgy one in the chair. This comprised a jolly good dose of anaesthetic, then cutting the gum open with a scalpel, and then using the drill to cut the tooth into little pieces.<BR/><BR/>I sat there getting progressively more tense for about 2 hours, with bits of blood and bone flying out of my mouth. When they had it all out, a quick sewing up and I was done.<BR/><BR/>I made it home, and then my head swelled up like a balloon, so big I could barely eat or talk. And this was only one taken out!<BR/><BR/>A visit back a few days later "just for a check" resulted in a dose of antibiotics being needed because it had become infected.<BR/><BR/>During that check, he said "you need to make a booking to get the other one out". Mmmmph, I agreed, but I put off doing until a little later.<BR/><BR/>That was 23 years ago, and I still haven't been back.<BR/><BR/>In fact, after that episode I didn't visit a dentist for over 15 years. When I did they were slightly miffed at the amount of time they had to spend taking plaque and stuff off. Shame, I reckon it was a layer of protection.<BR/><BR/>I still have no fillings, though!

Wise girl even paid for it herself. She was driven home by her older sister, fell into bed only to get up 1/2 an hour later and wander about the kitchen crashing into things, insisting all the while, "I'm fine, I'm awake, I'm okay". We guided her back to bed where she stayed asleep for the next six hours and finally properly woke up with no memory of her sleepwalking.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-89729028710504558692008-02-18T13:46:00.000+01:002008-02-18T13:46:00.000+01:00Fuck me.

Those four back teeth came out like butter and I felt mildly embarrassed after all the crying and pleading for drugs and generals I'd done with the two overly-jovial fourth-year students. <BR/>I did, however, get shunted back into the waiting room with a mouth full of cotton. When my cheeks were full to burst I went to the very small men's room to spit it out. The three other guys took one look at the metric mouthful of blood I spat into the sink and left without a whisper.<BR/><BR/>Heh heh heh.franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-70443847900787177902008-02-18T12:31:00.000+01:002008-02-18T12:31:00.000+01:00I've got some teeth growing the wrong way too...
