"Hey! how was it when you had your wisdom tooth extracted?"
And what I got as an answer is:
"when the dentist asks you if you can feel it, say no"
"the dentist had to break my teeth in three to take it out"
"If you bleed too much, put tea bags in your mouth"

So yes, I was freaked out the week before my tooth extraction. Thinking about everything everyone has told me about the wisdom tooth extraction. So on that morning, wake up at 8 to go to my deadly 9 O'Clock appointment. My mum is a secretary in the dental office, so while waiting for my appointment, I talked to her since we are not living together anymore.
So the dentist calls me. I walk to the chair, all stressed up. I sit down with my I-pod in my hands. I was told by my sister that you hear the cracking sounds because the wisdom teeth is just next to the ear. So she starts to anesthetize my gum. Even with the music, I could hear the needle piercing my skin. So I started to panic inside:

"OMG! I hear the needle piercing through my skin! It's painful! It's going to be very painful!"
Yes, I do tend to start panicking for nothing. So here I am, on the dentist chair waiting to the extraction of two of my wisdom tooth and my gum, tongue and lip under anesthesia. So she starts asking me if I feel her poking in my mouth. So everything is good, I feel nothing. So there it is, she starts the procedure. After moving away the gum around the teeth, she takes out this big instrument to slide under the teeth to push it upwards. So she starts to push to tooth up. And there it is, the pain. I told her to stop right away. Because of the pain, she anesthetize my gum once again on that side. After two minutes, my teeth was out. It came out as easy as a hand comes out of a glove.
Now for the second teeth, she anesthetized my twice on the side. I couldn't feel the whole of my ear (I had problems putting in my earphone =P). That teeth was as easy to pull out as the first one. So I was like:

"Wow, that was quick, not painful and soundless!"
Maybe 3 hours after, my bleeding has stopped and the anesthesia has started to worn off. So here comes the first pain killer. It didn't work at all. I had to call my mum so she could talk to the dentist to prescribe me a second painkiller to make the pain go away.
The second day, I was waiting to wake up with swollen and bruised cheeks. Not at all. It didn't eve look like I just had my wisdom tooth extracted the day before. Now on Monday, I still have a lot of pain and I still have to be on a liquid diet. Now, let's see how my day at work tomorrow and the business party will be =P
Taken just a few hours after the extraction
