My tooth was aching so badly that I only fell asleep at 5am. Was up at 7am. So tired. Decided not to go to my regular dentist and checked out this dental clinic downstairs.

Apparently, there is an infection on the gums at my wisdom tooth area. The dentist said that she would extract for me if I want to. It is the wisdom tooth on the bottom right. 90% grown and she said that it is very likely to be fully grown but not sure time frame. She gave me 2 options. If she extracts my lower wisdom tooth, she would have to extract the fully grown upper one too. If she does not extract my lower wisdom tooth, she would prescribe me antibiotics to treat the infection.

I chose the latter. Cos I know that my bottom right wisdom tooth has been growing for 2 to 3 years and I have endured the teething discomfort since the beginning. Just that there is an infection now and I need to get it treated. Dentist mentioned that there was food around the area which caused the infection and reminded me to brush my teeth all the way right inside so as not to neglect the wisdom tooth. This sure is a valuable advice. Got to ensure my teeth is thoroughly brushed.

Amidst the scaling and polishing today, the dentist noted a cavity on my upper pre-molar. Had it mended too. Was prescribed 2 types of antibiotics, painkillers and a bottle of antiseptic gurgle wash. In fact, just took my medication and tried the mouth wash. Now my mouth feels a little numb.

So, I was given medical leave today to rest. Have an important lunch meeting tomorrow. Hope that all will go well. The lunar 7th month starts today and gonna be a tough month for the car market. Car dealers are having their annual 7th month dinners as usual. Well, just hope that this month will not be too slow least I will be stressed out on production again.
