Teeth, or lack of.

It's been 6 days since i've had my wisdom teeth extracted (my first ever surgical experience! :P). here are a few things i've learnt.

Heads up, Tim Foo. this is for you.

Tip #1. It will hurt when the anaesthesia wears off, and the pain might radiate up to your temple and give you a throbbing headache. If it does, 2 tablets of Panadol or Nurofen should do the trick. :) at least for a few hours..

Tip # 2. Take extra care when eating food, especially with things like rice and nuts. they tend to get stuck in the gaping holes of your gum. :O

Tip # 3. Don't attempt to blow up a balloon. I tried just now, and 5 hours later, my gums are still hurting. :(

Tip # 4. I think it helps to be a bit chubby in the first place, just so that any form of swelling or chipmunk-ness will not be as accentuated. :P

Tip # 5. (Only applies if your dentist uses sutures to mend your gums back together) it's really ANNOYING to have this piece of string in your mouth. hmpf. -.-

That's all i've got so far in less than a week..might update this post, we shall see. :)
