trip to the dentist

for almost a week now, my tooth aches badly. it might be because of the buckets of candies,chocolates and chewing gum i have popped into my mouth. by the way, shashi is the owner of the world's sweetest tooth. it is not very surprising if i'll be a diabetic when i get older. so like a good little girl, my parents accompanied me to Tita Edith's (the dentist) clinic. what i thought would be just an innocent visit/checkup turned out to be not-so-innocent after all. the best choice i was given was to extract the aching tooth. i so dread this day - the day i have to open my mouth so wide and watch different instruments going in and out of my mouth. of course this was not my very first trip to a dentist. once in a while i have my teeth checked and cleaned, the holes barred. but extracting a tooth is a whole lot different thing for me! so imagine my panic when the dentist let me decide if i'll have the friggin' tooth removed right at that f***in' moment.

ba na na na..

so again, like the good little girl that i was, i nervously lied down the dental chair. if i don't have this tooth removed now, it might make me sleepless at night and it might mean no more sweets for good little shashi girl until the tooth stop hurting! this is a first time for me after Lord knows how many years. and this is the first time i'll have a permanent tooth extracted.

anesthesia, then other whatever things dentists do to patients. . .

(shashi hurting a little and she had her fingers crossed while the whole procedure was done.)
me: "Tita, may mas masakit pa po ba kayong gagawin?" asked just like a terrified four-year-old kid.

dentist: "Wala na, 'yun na 'yun."

imagine my relief. **big big sigh**

the extraction moment na! luckily, it doesn't hurt as much as i imagined it would. after some minutes, the dentist lifted the pain-in-the-ass tooth for my eyes to see. i was so glad to get rid of it. *sigh again*

Thanks to Tita Edith i can have ice cream again! and ice cream it was for good little shashi girl the moment she went out of the clinic.


Happy Andres Bonifacio Day! :)
