i got a wisdom tooth taken out

So yesterday (Tuesday) I got a wisdom tooth taken out. It was done in the chair.

My dentist referred me to a maxillofacial surgeon, as my tooth was growing at an angle. My dentist gave me a choice of 3 surgeons, and I chose Dr Madden in Miranda.

He was super lovely. At the end of May, I had a consult where he looked at my X-rays and history. I only had my top 2 wisdom teeth, none on the bottom. He recommended my top right tooth be taken out as that was the one that was giving me pain.

I had never had a filling until late 2023! I have had 3 fillings, with I think one to go!

So, I got a couple of numbing needles. And it was all over in about 15 minutes! I didn’t feel much except for some pulling.

Last night I didn’t sleep very well. Although I took all the pain relief I could, it didn’t seem to help. I think I only had about 2 hours of sleep. And I still had pain this morning. I didn’t go to work today, but I plan to go in tomorrow.

Nala has been looking after me today.

I have one more filling and then I think I am done!

I hope to never have another tooth taken out!
