we arrived at the hospital around 12 noon, they told us to wait 'til 1:30pm.
1:30pm
They made me took antibiotics, let me gargle mouthwash, then they gave me two shots of anesthesia and waited for it to take effect. I was kinda uneasy at first, thinking that it could hurt sooo bad.xD I'm not really sure with the steps and procedures they did. One thing I know is that they made an incision to my gums and I started to hear weird machine noises, and I even heard my tooth cracked. ugh Once my tooth was extracted they had to stitch the incision.
After that,they made me bite into something that looks like a gauze, I could definitely taste the blood in my mouth.yikes. They told me to bite it for 30 minutes to stop the bleeding. It didn't hurt at all.
On our way home, I noticed that my gums are still bleeding,my dad had to buy me a roll of tissue (because I had to spit from time to time) and a roll of gauze (I need to have extra, just in case). When we got home, I got sooooo hungry, but I was having second thoughts if I should eat right away since my gums are still bleeding. I was kinda hesitant but I ate anyway.hahaha! I might say, it was really hard to eat!!!! I could only eat soup or ice cream and I had to tilt my head to the right since the incision on my left gum is still fresh. It feels weird to have sutures inside my mouth.
I had to take antibiotics every 6 hours so that the wounds won't be infected. The antibiotics made me soooo hungry and I could only eat soup or ice cream. It was also a pain in the ass to brush my teeth, I had to avoid the sutures and I need to gargle from time to time. =/ bummer.
The next day, my left cheek got swollen like crazy! and the incision hurts! I had to tie a scarf around my face similar to what Juddy Abbot did when she had measles. Haha! (Daddy Long Legs).

We went back to the hospital to get the sutures removed. The sutures didn't melt entirely, the dentists wondered why my sutures turned so white. Haha! Probably, it turned white from all those horrendous gargling.xD
The dentists were impressed that my gums healed sooner that they expected. They said that I'm so healthy that it healed so fast. Hooray! xD
They told me to be careful of the affected area when brushing because the gums might tear or something? IDK.xD
Here's what the extracted tooth looks like.xD
Bloody,eh?HAHAHA!
