Got my left upper wisdom tooth extracted this morning. It was fully grown and everytime i chew something, it will get stuck at the bottom half impacted tooth (i think consider 45degree angle).
I'm really really afraid of pain so decided to get the upper one done, then maybe the right top, right bottom (both fully grown) and lastly the half impacted one to be extracted with 6 mths in between.
Dentist put numbing gel, then inject the inside and outside of the gum (damn long needles but no pain just can 'feel' it), then since the gums are so numb, i have no idea what she did, maybe she dig? Dun think so coz my gums are not torn and after extraction, no swelling (touch wood, will it swell straight away or after certain period of time?) and also took antibiotics n painkiller after 2 hrs.
Now at 11pm, didn't take painkillers dy (just antibiotics - 2 times a day), no pain at all. Hopefully the pain will not come tomorrow or....

Overall, not as scary as i thought it would be.
But i wonder how long the gums will actually close up so I can eat normal stuff and use that side to chew.
