Dentists

I thought my business with them is finished after all my baby teeth were replaced by permanent teeth. And the only reason I had agreed for orthodontics when I was 16 was because there was no need for any tooth extraction to be done.

My mom told me that when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I had to get this tooth extracted and we were in Singapore. She told me there were 4 adults pressing me down on the chair/table in order for the dentist to extract my tooth.

I can still remember that actually because after I came back from Singapore, I had nightmares for weeks. I can still recall that I was pushed hard while I kept struggling to get away.
Which is why I hate dentists and Singapore ever since.

I avoid dentists at all cost until I was in university where I get my annual dental checks.
But when I was in year 5, I keep having this vague toothache. Not very bad but annoying. So I went to see the dentist and to cut the story short, OPG done and I have 2 impacted wisdom teeth, one on each side, but they need to extract all 4 wisdom teeth because you can't have a single wisdom tooth on one side because it will hit on the gum.
But that's not the worst. I need a minor oral surgery to remove the impacted ones.
MINOR is not really minor. It is COMPARATIVELY minor as compared to other oral and maxillofacial surgery. I am opting for LA instead of GA because I am afraid of branulas and intubation. So I have to go through the pain TWICE.
Not only that, I read up about the procedure.. So many complications!
There's no way I can run away from this. I have to do this. Otherwise when it gets infected/symptomatic it still has to be done...
Hopefully everything will turn out fine..

Sigh.. I think I'm gonna have trouble sleeping/nightmare tonight.
