Almost unable to take the pain, I decided to go to the dentist this morning around 9.30am. Lucky, I’m not the type who easily goes berserk when having pain in the body… I was able to withstand the excruciating pain for 12 hours or so… plus lack of sleep…

I went to one of the dental clinic in Damai with my colleague which is opposite the shop we were having our late breakfast. I notice there are 3 dental clinics around Damai… probably more which I did not see. I actually call the clinic from the coffee shop to find out if they are busy… saw their number on the signboard. The nurse said there is an appointment around 10.00am… but I said, I will walk in after my meal… coz I’m having food next to their clinic 😛

The dental clinic looks big… the waiting area is huge… but there is only one dentist and two nurses. Registered myself… then in less then 3 minutes, I was called into the ‘operation’ room… I was lucky to get the appointment coz their two patients have not turn up yet for the 10am appointment… probably they couldn’t find a parking space… getting parking in Damai is like hitting a jackpot especially during office hours.

While waiting to be called, I scan through the pictures pasted on the clinic’s wall. Some shows before and after results… like one of it shows how jagged and bad teeth looks before getting treatment… and once corrected it shows sparkling teeth… arrange nicely like marble tiles… and there is also picture showing teeth with metal stuff on it, instead of arranged like marble tiles, it looks like copper tile 😛

Told the dentist my problem… I wanted the tooth to be pulled… but when he tried to shake the tooth with his hand, he said it’s still strong… and since it is a molar tooth… I heard ‘molar’, so it must be the name of the tooth… it’s harder to pull coz it has 3 legs… 😛 if pulling not successful, I might have to do operation… WHAT???

OK… I ask for second option… and I ask for an X-Ray of  my tooth… he said, if the tooth can be saved, I can opt for root canal… emmm… sound lots of drilling, and I don’t like drilling… lying on the dentist chair and listening all the lecture makes me sweat…

At the end he ask me to think about it first… so I ask for painkiller… he offer me ‘panadol’… WHAT???… I can get that at any shop… I ask for a stronger one… he offered me a capsule which cost RM10 each… I bought 4 of them since he is only free on Friday if I plan to come back… 😛 Well, I might do the root canal… 😛

Last night… or was it this morning… I did not manage to get a good sleep thanks to my toothache. I went to sleep around 2.30 am although my tooth was still hurting that time…

I was not able to sleep at all… I have to wake-up, go to the kitchen, put some tap water into my mouth, wait till the pain go away, throw away the water then go back to bed… before I can fall into sleep, the pain comes back again… I can’t remember how many times I did that… and I guess I only manage to sleep 4 hours or so 😛

I wake up still feeling the pain and went to work… I stop by at Kepayan Ridge’s 7-11 to buy mint gaggle liquid to kill the pain… but they don’t even have Listerine… shooot… I bought two bottle of Spritzer mineral water instead…

Hardly able to concentrate my work in the office… 😛 Others are still enjoying their outer banks vacation rentals till the end of this week… the 8 floors office building is still look deserted… I think more than 50% are still not back to work… they must have taken extended leave and went for vacation since ‘last year’… me have to work with toothache… why???… why me???… why???…

Ouchhhhhh… it’s over 1am and I’m having big time toothache right now… I have been trying to reduce the pain for the past 4 hours without any success…

All I can do is put water into my mouth to soak the tooth and the pain goes away for a while… then the pain comes back again after 5 minutes or so…

My vision is blurry right now… I’m like lost in outer space… somehow the nerve in my tooth is connected to every parts of my head…

If I can’t get rid of this toothache soon, I’m going to loose my appetite and soon will loose some weight… worse I will get skinny if I’m unable to eat like before… no need slimming pills or anything to throw away some of my belly fat… that will be horrifying…

A friends put a message in the Facebook asking me to take ‘pinang’… beetlenut… coz it has somekind of properties which act as natural painkiller… but how the heck to get it in the middle of the night???…

Shoot man… I will not get a good sleep tonight…
