I'm Missing My Tooth

Because my teeth were all messed up, I've been having alot of work done on them. I've already had traintracks put in on the lower jaw, and I had a retainer fitted. Today though, I had a tooth taken out. I've already had two removed a while back, and they put me to sleep to do that, but this time I was awake. I wasn't particularly bothered about having my tooth out - it's all for the greater good of my mouth. The only part that bothered me was having the anasthetic administered. You may or may not know, and may or may nto agree with me, but I HATE NEEDLES. Last autumn when I had my hep - a done again, it was a good job the nurse sprung it on me on the day, because if I'd known I'd already have had a contingency plan for climbing out of the window when she wasn't looking. Then, of course, I've had two of the HPV jabs done - those needles are huge, man. Massivungous. And one of my mates did the bad thing and tensed up when they did her second one so blood sprayed all over her school shirt. I merely broke down in hysterics and had to have the nurse's assistant hold my hand while i had the injection. Today I was feeling a bit nervous, as you can probably guess. I had a painkiller before we went into the dentist's, but it was kind fo made better because the dentist put on some orange gel that made my gums go numb. Mind you, I still had my eyes shut while she stuck in the needle, and my heart was probably getting near its maximum rate before you get a heart attack and die . . . haha. I went downstairs for 5 minutes, and then came back up so she could actually take the tooth out. I still had my eyes shut though. I could feel her messing about with some pliers, but it didn't hurt. I did notice when she was pulling that the feeling went deep. If you could see the tooth, you'd see what I mean when I tell you that it's big. To put it in perspective, it's just a bit longer than those rubbers you get on the end of pencils. Including the metal bit that keeps it on the pencil. IT may also interest you to know that I was writing this to distract myself - the anasthetic has worn off and I'm waiting for my painkillers to kick in, while holding a cotton swab in my mouth to soak up the bleeding. I also have half a Simpson's mouth at the moment.
