Went to my polyclinic's dental today for my toothache.normally i'll slp like a dead log at 3am.
but the toothache woke me up at tht hr. so pain i cldnt get back to slp.
Woke up twice. First time, i went to brush my teeth. went back to slp again, cant slp. woke up twice, took panadol extra. finally pain subsided. Sms slayer in the middle of the night to try my luck if hes awake coz hes the only fren i know who might be awake at this unearthly hr :P and yes, i was right. =) thanks slayer for being there at such a weird hr. =.="
I skipped the tooth extraction coz dentist actually discourage me to as my bad tooth was quite infront. and so he did pulpectomy for me. $70+ on tht. lucky can claim frm company.

He performed local anaesthetic on my gums. two jabs and i felt numb, totally. the thought of takin jabs to my gum juz freaks me out pls. then doc said i look like im the type whos scared of pain. like hello, people is girl know! he still can ask how im feeling aftertht. like numb, duh. i juz heard alot of drilling sound during the 'numb' period. other than tht, nothingness.
He gave me a referral letter to AH specialist tellin me to get a root canal therapy over there and im gg to be broke after the therapy. 800+ bucks for juz ONE tooth.

Doc strongly encourage me to go bcoz he said if i dont go, my teeth will crack in the future. =.=
anyway, alot of my frens encouraged me to go for the therapy as well. i think i will go but probably next week then i'll call to make appointment. need to talk to my parents abt it too.
thanks all for the concern, im blessed wif love by u all =)
