I had my wisdom tooth extracted today. Well, I should have had it extracted it last March, but due to a combination of lack of time, resources and courage, I had it delayed. But then I realized all those are just excuses because I didn't really feel any need for my tooth to be extracted. It was just...something that had to be done at one point. So anyway, I took advantage of the holidays to have it removed.

I would spare the reader the details of my extraction. All I have to say is, it wasn't as bad as I thought. While my orthodontist and her sister were busy working on pulling my tooth out, I was thinking that it isn't really the actual pain that scares most people away from the dentist's office. I didn't feel any pain, only the sensation of pressure It's what they visualize what the dentists would do on their teeth.
