#72. Get Wisdom Teeth Removed

This morning my mother dropped me off at the dentist office and as soon as I arrived I was told to take two small yellow pills. Twenty minutes later I was escorted into the furthest room of the dentist office and q-tips covered in a red jelly were shoved in my mouth. After this freezing jelly, I was given eight needles in my gums to further freeze them. Then the dentist and dental technician worked their magic and pulled out all four of my wisdom teeth. Yes I was awake for the whole process. Yes it was painful. Yes the dentist had problems with my last tooth, had to stand over me and literally had to yank the sucker out of my gums. No I didn’t cry. No I didn’t keep my teeth (but I saw them – gross).
                Honestly I was super nervous going into the “surgery” but it really wasn’t that bad. Everyone I talked to had these horror stories but the worst thing about getting my wisdom teeth out was the swelling. It’s just about three days later and my cheeks are still a bit puffy. Yes, it’s hard to eat solid foods but there are lots of yummy foods I can eat: like ice cream!!! J
                My friends B and L picked me up from the dentist office and we all went to DQ for some ice cream. The swelling may have been better if I put ice on sooner but honestly I’m just glad those puppies are out! No more headaches!!
                I love my friends <3 It was a lot easier with their support!! Thanks girls!! <3
