I’ve been a ‘walang pakialam’ before. When someone had toothache, I didn’t really care to sympathize in their pain. I thought the pain was just mild. But it’s not! It’s not! Swear!
And right now I am having a tootache. Huhuhuhu! I am pained while typing. I feel that the veins around my jaw are burning. It’s like everything in my mouth is inflamed.
I enjoyed eating a while ago and I brushed my teeth. Now my teeth’s acting up. I am steadying my head so it won’t ache further. I wonder how long this will last. Probably when I sleep, the pain will be forgotten. Or maybe I won’t be able to sleep at all. Huhuhu. It is so painful!
So this is how toothache is. I think I also want to put that white something that they put over the chin or cheeks when someone’s having a toothache. Do we call it salonpas? I will send my son to buy it for me. We don’t have something like that here at home. I hope the nearby store has it.
I’m not sure how long I will hold out but this I must write in memory of how I judged people before who were having toothache. They say it is worse than headache. I say headache or toothache I don’t want any. It’s best not to have these ache aches.
When this toothache subsides, I will go to the dentist to have it removed. One tooth to be removed from my complete set. No more holding on to this tooth that has decayed. Tooth decay! So this is it.
Honestly, I never imagined myself to be having toothache ever. This is my first time. Huhu.
Here is the lesson, sometimes, we only get to sympathize when we have had an experience on something. Take toothache for example. If I didn’t experience this, then I will never know what toothache felt.
But we don’t have to experience everything in order to be able to sympathize. Let’s take the word or words of the experienced ones. Whatever experience that is.
In life, we should take the wordsof the wise. Especially when we are trying things out. Let’s heed their words. We don’t need to experience things in order to believe. Otherwise, we’re like additional samples to statistical studies.
My older sister has always had toothache before. Also some of my friends and classmates. And whenever they feel toothache, they’d be like halted from everything that they usually do. And I just keep quiet and wonder how toothache is.
I was one of the kids back then who weren’t able to eat much chocolate and even though my mother wasn’t particular with brushing teeth, I was lucky I didn’t get to experience any toothache. The worst I’ve always experienced was tonsillitis and frequent feet injuries. But toothache? Never.
I always hear that we only get to let teeth be removed after the pain has subsided. I guess I have to wait for the pain to subside. Tomorrow! I will go to the dentist tomorrow. If not, the soonest possible time I could go.
I have to have regular dentist checkups from here on. I don’t ever want to experience toothache ever again.
Toothache, I realized, is a very lonely journey. You have to experience the pain alone until it subsides.
But what’s good anyhow is that, at least it doesn’t affect the hands that type and the mind that thinks of things to write about.
I think the cause of this toothache of mine is the small opening that was present at first to one of my lower molars. I ignored it since I didn’t believe I will ever have toothache. Little did I know that it will come to this point. If I promptly let the dentist fix this, then I didn’t have to sit here thinking about those classmates and friends who’ve had toothaches before.
Just a reminder I suppose that prevention is better than cure. My jaw and the veins inside my mouth is throbbing like crazy. C’mon, that was just a single tooth but it affected all its surroundings.
I hope I won’t ever demand mefenamic later on. It’s risky taking a lot of anti-inflammatory medicines. But if I won’t be able to take it anymore, I have to try medicine.
That’s it for today as I don’t think I will be able to hold out any longer. I need to sleep and rest this pain hoping it will get better the time that I wake up this morning.
