A Visit to a Dentist

These days it so happens that i get very little spare time. And if i manage to steal a few moments of that time and log on to blogger, i keep saying that this is my come back, i will blog more often now and blah blah. This time i thought better get to the real thing, i.e. blogging, without uttering an extra word. ;-)

Today i paid a visit to the dentist. My second visit in a week. Last time i went on last Saturday. I was given anti-biotics and a few more tablets to help heal the lil wound in my mouth. Now that the dose of the medicine was over, i went to consult the doctor again. the wound had healed but there was still a little problem. The dentist had to cut off a tiny piece of my cheek that was covering a part of my last molar. I bravely survived on the chair, under the bright light and funny looking gadgets. The only thing painful was the sharp pain caused by the anesthetic shots in my gum.

My Mum survived as well. She was with me in the dentist's surgery. As soon as she heard him say 'cut off' she gave out a tiny squeal. ;-) hehe She has a delicate heart. She can't stand sight of blood or even the tiniest of surgical procedures. [Just kidding Mum! I know you are very brave :-)]

The best thing about this all was that ice cream was prescribed by the doctor. >:-) I took advantage of this and ate a lot of ice cream throughout the day. The cold milk at lunch time was also very refreshing.

Now, at the end of the day, everything seems to be healed. But i am still a bit cautious. I guess my gum would be perfect in a couple of days.
