pulling out a tooth--in failure

2008-10-28 14:37:07 | ノンジャンル
I've just been to the dentist.

I have a crooked tooth and it was broken
in the middle last autumn.

Today my dentist decided to pull out
the tooth completely.

He tried to pull it out, even cutting
my gums.

But the end of the tooth was in the bone.
It was impossible to pull the tooth with
its root.

He sewed up the gums and gave me medicine
for aching, swelling, fever and bacteria.

I have never had this kind of tooth treatment
before--I mean pulling out teeth.
The dentist was surprised that I still had
four wisdom teeth--oya-shirazu.

Now I'm decided I will not get any treatment
unless I have any pains.

I wonder what will happen to me.

Will I have a bad pain?
Will the gums swell?
Will I have a fever?

Can I have supper?
