Never wait 6 years to go to the dentist because the moment you do, opening your mouth is akin to opening pandora’s box. I came to assess my wisdom tooth because it has erupted and is misaligned outwards, so it’s poking my nerves and my cheek. Instead I was told that I might have to get a small filling done for one tooth and that I had a bit of a gum infection caused by a second wisdom tooth, which I didn’t even know existed! So now I have to book an appointment to get both of the stupid teeth out and I should be getting it done at TTSH. The surgery will probably extract a big chunk of money as well, but I think I can use my Medisave so that should be ok. But honestly I don’t care about the cost or the surgery itself, I care about the pre-extraction injection!!! I hate hate hate hate hate injections, almost as much as I hate snails. The last time I was at TTSH was for a minor surgery as well, to remove a 3-in-1 sty on my eye. I probably screamed loud enough to wake up the dead in the mortuary.
I think I shall request for some laughing gas this time.
