Last but definitely NOT the LEAST!


I had been getting these weird left side headaches for more than a week already and kind of figured that my teeth were due for some checking, I don't know if this only happens to me but when I have these "tylenol can't cure headaches" it can only mean 2 things, I need to check my eyes or my teeth. It finally dawned on me that I still had one wisdom tooth left and had a suspicion that this might be the cause of my suffering. After doing some x-rays, my doctor determined that my 3rd molar was ready to go. Since my previous surgeries with my doctor went very well, I was not at all worried that this would be the same quick and easy procedure as before. Boy was I wrong, apparently my 3rd molar was decidedley larger than normal, plus the bone surrounding the impacted tooth was quite thick. So there I was suffering for more than 1 1/2 hours on the "operating chair", the doctor must've used every possible instrument of torture on me, I could hear drilling, sawing, sucking, it was just awful. I was so relieved when it was over.
