Introduction
It is the first time I like to write a blog related to my molar tooth extraction. I did extract two molar teeth last six months, and I need to extract one more in short future. They all are my right side.
Tooth is not decoration
I was experienced difficult time to miss four tooth in right side, two up and two down. But compared to suffering last two years, I choose to stay healthy instead of long-term pain. It all started from my lack of preparation to extract the tooth, instead of extraction, I chose to do gum surgery, and the shaking tooth caused the infection. The dentist asked me to go to see a periodontist.
I kept the tooth shaking in my mouth over two year, last November I could not stand any more, the gum infected so badly around two teeth. I decided to visit a different dentist and go back to visit my old dentist more than 6 years ago. After the ten minutes visit, I decided to extract the first tooth in Dec. 2018.
It was too tough to spend two months to wait for the appointment to extract the tooth. It was easy to extract the tooth.
Here are 4 marked teeth. I extracted No. 1 more than 4 years ago, and I did extract 2 and 3 in last six months. I will extract No. 4 in short future.
Another tooth
While I was waiting, the upper first molar tooth was infected. I did dirty cleaning job every day. I could not stand to live the life like that. I took the sick day on Jan. 8, 2019. I got the appointment, I chose to deep clean instead of extraction.
One month later, this February, I suffered the swollen gum and pain again. I decided to extract the tooth.
This time the extraction was like a horror movie, it was tough to extract a tooth with two pins healthy, one pin infected with the tissue.
Third tooth
The lower second molar tooth right side also has infection, pain. I need to set up an appointment to extract it.
It is like my personal finance. I did not invest time to learn the basics. I use dental insurance but I did not learn the basics of dental health.
It is disaster. I let this happen.
It all started from 2010, I did not extract the tooth ( right maxillary 2nd molar) with infections, a few deep cleaning, a root canal in 2012, followed by the extraction two month later. The infection went so badly and it spreads bacterial and hurt neighborhood tooth gum healthy status.
Actionable Items
It is my personal finance project. I know that those expensive gum surgery, root canal, or other implant are the dentist's playground. It is the way for them to generate income. I chose to suffer those pain and let those teeth living for extra few years; but I did not learn anything. I made wrong decisions.
