Too Much Sweets Probably

I tell you, my molar is trying to be funny. It's been fine and dandy. Suddenly, at 3pm, it suddenly started to hurt. Stupid molar. By now, the intensity of the pain's so bad that I can't chew and I kinda gave up on dinner. Cold water soothes it though.

The last X-ray revealed 3 wisdom tooth. 1's fine and grown out. The other 2 on the lower jaw are badly impacted. One doesn't quite hurt. This other one is probably pushing against the molar to find a way out. The wisdom tooth right behind it is struggling to grow, I think. The gums that contain the wisdom tooth usually hurt. But this time, a molar hurts. It indicates pressure on the nerves and maybe something worse.

I think this wisdom tooth would need to be extracted. SIGH. If it has to be removed, I might as well do it in the next 3 weeks. I don't have time next month to deal with annoying and recalcitrant teeth. Shakespeare said, "For there was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently." If the pain pierces my sleep tonight, I need to get my ass pronto to the dentist at the first available opportunity tomorrow.

I'm hungry though. Very hungrieeeeeeee and can't chew. :(

cherie: i doubt it. the macaroons definitely!

Poor you! Yah, I second the drinking milk suggestion to ease off the hunger pangs. Wisdom teeth are so bothersome!

Ice cream perhaps? It has soothing therapy, cold and numbs the pain. Yummy too. :) Take care imp.

yuling + b.muse: i chomped down on the molar. i think i kinda pushed it back against the wisdom tooth. strangely, it stopped hurting halfway through the night. it shifted properly to the gum covering the wisdom tooth. now, it doesn't hurt anymore. only the gum who has receded to show the wisdom tooth. the tooth fairy has indeed been busy!

jomeL: eeeiii. i no like biscuits or milo...can i have hot chocolate instead? then the caffeine would really keep me awake!

celcilia: willdo!

ice: HAHAH. i actually really went to have ice-cream while i caught up with 2 episodes of Supernatural. pulot hitam.
