I have been very unlucky for these few months.. My health has not been good and I got sick with high fever, flu, cough, sore throat etc during my exam period. I can't really focus on my revision and exams as I feel very tired and physically weak. I slowly recovered and thought that I can enjoy myself after my exams.. But now is my wisdom tooth causing me problems. It has been very painfully for past one week plus to two weeks. I though it is just some common gum problems when I get too heaty, but its getting from bad to worse and I cant even sleep or eat..


Finally, I can't stand the pain anymore and went to a dentist. He say that it is my wisdom tooth causing my pain and indirectly, it may cause me to have gum disease. The dentist ask if I wanted to extract my tooth right away or do some kind of cleaning, filling, etc to see if it gets better after that. Ofcos I opt for the cleaning as i'm very scare of pain. Last time, kelvin suffered for 2 weeks plus when he extract his wisdom tooth and he can't even talk or eat. However, there is a positive effect of his wisdom tooth extraction, that is... he quit smoking after that as he can't smoke during that painful period of time.. haha!


After the cleaning, my mouth still feel the pain and the doctor prescribe some extra strong panadols for me. Although I didn’t extract my tooth, but it still bled. Dun know if it bled from my gum or tooth, and I can only eat soft food for this period of time.. If the pain still continue in next one month time, I think I have no choice but to extract it out..


By that time, I think that I will not only suffer physical pain but heart pain as well. It will cost me at least $500 to extract the wisdom tooth and my company do not have dental claims!! I told my mom about it and she advised me to quit as this company do not provide those common employees welfare benefits as being provided by most of the companies (my company only provide insurance claim for hospitalized surgery). I somehow agreed with her as all of my ex companies have employees benefits of dental claims, medical claims etc... Since the job market is quite good right now, I may move on soon... =)
