Day 8 of Toronto Exchange - Wednesday, September 1, 2010


Today I woke up really late because my head felt so tired from all the events that has been happening for the past month. It has been non-stop action and I was sleep deprived and finally it was just small rest before school would start. Well I woke up at 11:20 but I should have been awake at 9:00 because I was supposed to join the Vancouver people at a Toronto Downtown Tour but I had to go see the dentist. So I had to skip this tour to see my dentist because it was somewhat important. Guess what I was going to see the dentist for!? You guess wrong! Apparently my wisdom teeth was taking up too much space and I must take them out.

Usually to arrive at the dentist, I would have to take the bus but today at the subway station there was a long line up. I thought I would be late because of it and I was somewhat right. I had to run to the dentist place just not to be late. When I arrived, I was dripping with sweat from my forehead down to my neck. My dentist and his assistant was terrified and told me to wipe it off. At that moment, I was so embarrassed but it was worth it because I was not late. I was totally ready for the loss of my wisdom teeth. But when I saw the hand that held the needle come nearer and nearer, I was terrified. What if my dentist failed, what would happen to my teeth? But after rethinking, this dude is experienced and must have took out people's teeth numerous times so what is there to worry about. I calmed down and felt the sharp pain as the needle went into my gums and the fluid was sent into my gums. He placed two needles on either side of my teeth to ensure that it was fully numb. After just a few minutes, the chemical kicked in and my upper right side felt so numb. I could not feel that part anymore.

After that, all I saw was a small metal stick that was put into my mouth and a few cracking noises from my teeth. Then he took out a clamp and clamped my wisdom teeth out just like that. In all it took just like 3 minutes and it was over. And now I have a hole in my mouth and blood is pouring out. He told me that I cannot eat for 45 minutes and that I must renew my clothe if it get too bloody. In 4 hours my anaesthesia will go away and the pain will come. I have lost 2 wisdom teeth in total and I will lose another 2 in a few weeks.

After that, I went shopping for school bags and other stationary. We returned with 3 school bags, ice cream, blueberry muffins and other sorts of groceries.
