Before I went to the dental 3 weeks ago, I didn't expect any tooth implant to be "in" me. Oh well~ I kinda chip my one of my tooth as I eat. Yep. I was like "WTF!" and then I felt something small and hard. When I spit it out, obviously it's from my tooth. And so, for a few days, I felt a hole in my mouth. It's really uncomfortable. I'll use my tongue and "explore" the lil' hole and worst of all, food starts to get stuck in it. =X
You know, I really detest going for a dental appointment. I feel tortured everytime I sit on it. I'll always panic when the dentist gets me to open my mouth wide.
I went to the dentist today, which is the last session of my tooth implant. Surprisingly, I felt no pain, no hateful "HURRY UP!" feeling, no nothing. I felt a lil' scared at first, when he asked me to open my mouth WIDE~ So he started removing the temporary crown and yes, I can feel that "tak" sound and that crown pops away. Seriously, I thought I might just swallowed it if he didn't pick it up fast. (-.-") He started "cleaning" up the hole and press the new crown in and hold it there for a lil' while.
All in all, within 20 mins, he was like "Alright, it's done. You may go now."
Me: What?
Dentist: You may go.
Me: Really? So fast?
Dentist: Too fast? You wanna stay a while more is it?
Me: NO! (And I hurriedly walked out of the room)
Haa. I feel so happy now 'cause I got my "tooth" back! (^-^)
Mine's the bottom right lateral incisor, if I didn't count wrongly.
Oh, let me tell you how my "normal" dental appointment for chip tooth became tooth implant.
I went to the dental clinic like 3 weeks ago and so I told my dentist 'bout the chip tooth. She examined it for a while and said in a really serious tone "You have 2 choices. To remove it totally or do a tooth implant." My mom came by the door and was like "See, so how? PLUCK?" I was like "I don't want!" So I started to panic and I teared. One dentist came in and said "No lah! So young cannot pluck! Pluck means no more tooth there. Partially of her tooth is still there. Do a tooth implant, then she'll be alright." After a while, an older dentist pass by and was like "WHAT!? So big already still will scared. Aiyooooooooooo."
I was transfered to another dentist (the one said tooth implant). He examined that tooth for a lil' while and told the nurse to prepare this and that and then, he applied that "numb" gel around the area he wanna inject in.
I tell you, I was tearing like fuck. Like "nooooo. Noooo. NOOOOO! I don't want an injection!" He tried coming near my mouth with that syringe and I go "WAIT. WAIT. NOOOO. I SAID WAIT!" And this drama went on for a while. I totally cried like nobody's business.
Soon, he became a lil' impatient and said "if you still don't wanna let me inject now, when the numb gel wear off, you'll fell worst!" His nurse tried to hold my hands down (cause I was trying to snatch that syringe away). After struggling for a while, he managed to get me calm down so he pushed the plunger and yep. I got an injection, like finally.
He started drilling and blah blah. Actually I can't feel a thing. I don't understand why was I so frightened that I can't really recall what he did to my tooth. I just think it's really scary.
Last week, I went for the second time. He stuff this really bitter thingy (it's purple in color) in my mouth (the area of that tooth) and got me to hold it for 5 mins. I kept looking at my time hoping 5 mins will pass really soon. Once he removed that thingy, he stuff a screw in and covered that "hollow" tooth with a temporary crown. After that session I can still feel the disgusting taste of it. Yes, especially when I eat or drink~
This is my scariest dental experience. I feel soo brave. Hee. (^-^o)
