Hello beautiful people!
I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨
It was 11th of October when I got my first tooth extracted. Yes. I am 23 and that was my first time. Not because I have a very nice set of teeth, which I do not have but because I am just afraid and that what makes me having a crooked teeth.
I have this cracked tooth already for long. I just leave it that way since as I've mentioned I am afraid to get it removed. However, just on that day while I am eating my breakfast I thought that what I have is still the pure meat from the lechon baboy we bought, and when I chew it is its small bone already which made my cracked tooth toss back and forth whenever I try to touch it using my tongue.
I really wanted to remove it by my own but I am afraid that it will bleed a lot as it is the hard tooth I have. So I leave it as it is.
But on the following days, it seems to hurt a lot that I have a difficulty on brushing my teeth and I can't eat some hard foods as well. That's when I decided to have it extracted by a dentist.
I tried to look for clinics who are affiliated with the insurance we have from the company to at least save some money, sad to say I haven't found any. So what I did is just look for the nearest dental clinic from our home. I actually found two. The first clinic I got to contact is one ride from our home and the dental fee will be 500 pesos. The other one is just how many steps from our home and the fee is 800 pesos. As much as I wanted to save money, I chose the nearer clinic as I do not want to travel anymore. Travelling and getting stuck in traffic will just stressed me out and may caused my tooth to get hurt more.
Extracting my tooth did not take a lot of time. It was about 30 minutes if I was not mistaken. I was injected with the first anesthesia and waited for five minutes for the second one. I thought it will hurt a lot, but it did not. Though, the second one has more force than the first.
After waiting for about 10 to 15 minutes, the dentist started to remove my tooth. Over all, I can say she is a good dentist. I did not felt any fear anymore as she assured me that it will not hurt. Well, she was correct. It did not hurt at all. She told me that it was a good decision that I did not removed it on my own as there were three roots connecting on that certain tooth I have, which I actually did not understand. Lol. But the thing is, I prevent it from bleeding a lot.
One thing I liked about having my tooth extracted on their clinic is the ambiance. The clinic is actually new and the interior is cozy. I love the colour and how minimalist it is. It is purple and blue green and I love it.
Look how cute the interior is. It is so relaxing indeed.
Maybe if I will have the cleaning of my teeth scheduled, I will come on this clinic as well. Aside from it is near our home, the dentist and her assistant has a pleasing personality.
That's all for today beautiful people. If you have any thoughts about this, feel free to leave it in the comment section below. Let's interact. Stay safe always! Xoxo ✨☺️

Ah, I think it's lucky that you only lost a tooth at 23! I recently had a tooth removed as well, as it also cracked and was too painful to leave it alone.
