okay my first tooth extraction was exactly three days ago. this morning there was still a bit of pain but the swelling has gone down a bit. its weird just having this hole in my mouth near the back where a tooth used to be. and also something else strange, i have alot more saliva as well. i don't know what made me think of this beforehand. i work as a lecturer part time and i had this vision of myself (unintentionally) spitting on the students sitting in the front.
it was really gross when they were foricing the tooth out of my mouth. i did not feel pain but i could feel them tugging and tugging on the tooth and the sound it made when it finally came loose was really freaky. my poor jaw and mouth was traumatised no wonder i'm still in pain after three days...
i sent a text message to my brother the first night because i could not sleep and he told me that his extractions were painful too, but that getting braces is a worthwhile thing to do. i reckon he thinks i'm mad because i didn't just do it as a teenager, but its just that this is the time when i'm all grown up and know that i am more than my looks basically. i guess i more mature now. i was terrified to look in the mirror after they had just removed the tooth cos i just pictured a hole, but you can't see the space when i smile unless i open my mouth unnaturally wide. well one more tooth extraction and filling and braces in 3 weeks. i'm nervous cos i've read so many posts and they are all so different. some people hate them, others are in pain and some people look great with braces. wonder how i will look. i think some of my friends are more worried than i am. but i've never really liked my smile so i think that is one of the reasons why this is a good decision. i think all the other blogs are helping alot, to see how well people are coping and also sharing of expriences and positive attitudes....bye for now. *hugs*
