Wisdom Teeth: AGAIN!?!??!!?
well.. no not really.. they haven't grown back.. but the saga is i think finally at an end... let me tell u wot happened..yesterday during morning tea after eating my butter with raisin toast (yes butter with raisin toast) and downing my huge mug of coffee.. i used my tongue to go around my teeth checking for food particles (as u do..) neways as i got to my left hand side bottom last molar (one before where the wisdom teeth were) i felt something rough and hard... so i was like whats that thing? maybe some food stuck there.. i tried with vigorous rinsing of water to get it out but it wouldn't budge...
i ended up checking on the net that wot it might be is a small fragment of the wisdom tooth that may have been left there and the gum just extracts the piece as it heals.. no biggie..
so i got home and after dinner i had a better look.. armed with my trusty mirror and desk lamp i went to work... yep sure enough it looked like a small tooth fragment... prolly no more than the size of the tip of a pencil.. all good... i need more supplies.. so i went downstairs and carefully chose my extraction tool.. BOB!!! or what normal people call it.. a 'toothpick'... but for the duration of this post, we'll call him bob :-)
back up stairs now i went to work.. carefully i moved bob into place, ready to flick the small tooth fragment away from the gum.. *flick* no budge.. what the?!?!? i try again, this time.. using bob, not a flick but a careful scraping method, carefully latching onto the small white tooth fragment and pulling upwards, bob managed to uncover something amazing!.. to my suprise it was the start of a very LARGE tooth fragment.. frantically i kept digging and eventually this HUGE white hard thing came out.. *panic* in the mean time bob is screaming and eventually fainted at the sight of this monstrosity.. (toothpicks.. they dont make me like they used to..) now there was this hole in my gum where this huge thing lived and some blood seeping out.. !!!
this was crazy i thought.. wot the hell?? it didnt' look like a tooth fragment at all.. teeth a somewhat smoooth.. this was all riged and rough.. white like tooth though.. i had no idea... luckily that night i had bible study and one of the people there's sis is a dentist.. so i asked her what it could be.. she basically told me as the jaw heals it could break off little pieces of bone and it ended up congregating in that one spot and my gum decided to push it out now.. !!!!!!!!!!! JAW BONE PIECES!!!!! *gasp* by this time i should mention the bleeding had stopped and the hole started to cover over as the gum caved in on itself...
well to cut the story short.. i think after this incident.. the wisdom teeth saga is finally finished.. the gum is healing now and i can't even see a hole today... finally.. after 4 months nearly.. it is finally over... and as i always say.. "like sands through the hour glass, these are the days of our lives......... "
actually i dont' say that.. it just sounded cool to put in there..
and for your enjoyment i have include some pictures below of the 'thing' that came out of my mouth...
