Post Wisdom Tooth Extraction Update
It's been a couple of days now, and I must say, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Some myths were indefinitely busted - at least in my case.
I didn't have to strictly survive on porridge and tou foo. According to the dentist, staying on a soft food diet also included being able to eat rice and noodles. Yeay for me!
The side of my mouth didn't swell up post-extraction. And again, I clarify... I'm only speaking with regards to my case.
No sign of any excruciating pain during recovery. I thought the dentist was lying when he said that all I would feel would be a slight discomfort. Haha! One side of my jaw felt rather sore for two days though - especially when I opened my mouth to a certain degree. I'm guessing it's because of the dentist's intense tugging when he was getting it out. But it's all good now!
And you can say that I'm getting my hopes up, but I'm still wishing that the other 3 wisdom teeth won't even come close to surfacing. The anxiety is something I can so live without. I was actually clenching my hands together really tight throughout the whole extraction process.
Only 5 more days till those stitches come off!
