Having a tooth out >.<

[Luseth 1,937]

The last couple of days my mouth has been plagued by a bad tooth, for the first time I have to have one pulled out at the dentist, as it's a wisdom tooth they don't think it's worth repairing and best to get rid as it is affecting the tooth next to it.

 

I really really do not like the dentist so I am kind of dreading it (though I have been told it's not too bad).

 

But yeah just wanted to say I really don't like the dentist!

I had one wisdom tooth removed in 2017 and although it was a bit daunting, it actually turned out to be fairly routine in the end. Painkillers for a few days after were needed and you have to keep the wound clean with salt water but aside from that, it was a pretty simple procedure and I've had longer hygienist appointments before!

I had a wisdom tooth out a couple of years ago, horror story, so I won't scare you by relaying it here 😅

Go on Uncle Phil tell me a story, and don't leave out any grissle. 

When was it? And did it happen in the UK? 

 

Also was it an actual dentist? Not a butcher in Yugoslavia or something....

Ah man, I feel for you @Luseth. I've not been too bothered about Dentists but if I had to get a tooth pulled out I can feel my stomach going a little sick already 😅

 

I think we were speaking a little about it last night online - have you had it out now as I think you said were awake when they had to do it?! I'd want to be awake too as I don't like the idea of being put to sleep, but i'd want to feel absolutely NOTHING in return 😄

Yeah it was out, its why i wasnt too chatty as it is all a bit tender! It was worse as I went in all tense and by the end of it was shaking, it certainly has not helped how I feel about going to see a dentist.

 

It was uncomfortable and they did have to numb me up again part way through. Just need to heal up now ^_^

 

That said the dentist i had was pleasant and even got chatting about video games to help me calm down a bit afterwards

I'm due to go need two fillings as they've fallen out.

Same as you hate the dentist.

Hopefully heals up pretty quick for you.

Lets be honest the only people that like the dentist, are the dentist's themselves. 

 

Poking about peoples grotty teeth all day. But damn they make bank tho.
