Wisdom tooth

I haven't being injected with IAN Block after 2nd year in dental school when we learn how to jap each other. And, i have really forgotten about the feeling of being the one sitting down in the dental chair, waiting to be injected with the long needle.

Today, i got my first IAN block plus multiple infiltration all around my impacted third molar. To be honest, the injections weren't very pleasant. Hence, i would like to say thank you to all of the patients or colleagues that i have given injections in the past three years. You were really brave.

I am glad that i had the opportunity to experince what the patient felt during extration of impacted third molar (wisdom tooth). In the mean time, i feel really awful to have to gone through extraction eventhough i didn't eat tonnes of sweets and i was brushing and flossing my teeth. Well, this is life, life is unfair. Now that i understand so deeply that "agenesis of wisdom tooth can be a blessing", it really mean something to me now. And, i doubt the presence of an impacted wisdom tooth will make you any superior in term intelligence as compared to people without one.

Having my wisdom tooth extracted, part of my anterior border of my ramus drilled away with bone drill, my retromolar pad cut open and stitched back, I now have to swallow eat soft diet with small size spoon and not to mention about pain killerssss. It is hurting even when i swallow, I WANT THIS TO GO AWAY ASAP. :(
