a visit with the tooth fairy

yesterday i had a simple tooth extraction. at first i tooth..err, i thought there’s gonna be a minor surgery involved since it’s the wisdom tooth that’s affected, thank God its not. and im surprised to know that extractions doesn’t hurt anymore. i had 4 temporary filling, and one permanent filland i also had my annual prophylaxis..it’s a one time thing and i chose this month to get my teeth cleaned. hehe. the dentist was nice enough to let me know that i could take advantage of the unlimited temporary filling that i have and unlimited tooth extraction.. goodness, as if we could have all the teeth extracted. 

coz as far as i can remember it, the first and last time i got an invasive procedure like this is when i was in 3rd grade.. that was the only time i had a simple extraction and damn it hurts. i was shouting my lungs out and im moving my body there and here trying to let go of their grip. those adult hands who’s been pinning me down so my dentist could do his job. but mind you, she’s not doing her job correctly coz im feeling pain during the whole procedure. and because they’re having a hard time getting it out of my gums, and because of my constant whaling and screaming they coudn’t take it no more, so they sent me home instead. and the dentist asked my cousins to tell me my mom about it, about me getting so freakingly coward about my tooth getting pulled out. who wouldn’t??

 if you were just there, getting that extraction, you would have understand. there’s definitely no anesthesia on that one. but what’s funny about this memory is that whenever we visit the dentist, we go there altogether. so we all get a tooth extraction at the same time. we all get to ask our parents to buy us an ice cream or ice drop or ice candy, whichever is available.what i know is we have a reason to be spoiled.
