As you can guess from the post title, my tooth cracked.
It on the left upper part, 2nd last position molar tooth.
This tooth problem dated back to around end-2019.
At that time, I felt my tooth was sensitive, but I felt it on the lower jaw of the teeth.
After checking through, the dentist confirmed it is on the upper jaw, and the knocking test showed that particular tooth is sensitive.
Other than that, nothing else was wrong with the tooth.
No crack, no filling needed, nothing at all. So it was then said to take some medication and see how it goes.
In fact, I went to see the dentist twice then, even took a memo from him just in case I need to go for 2nd opinion or even ENT doctor to check.
At that time, the sensitivity of that tooth took around 3 weeks to 'feel better'. After that, I was more careful with food intake etc, as that took still feel sensitive, and at at lower degree.
Then around 2 months ago, when all the coronavirus precaution measures were started, I had a sharp pain on that tooth, and it lasted around 1.5days. After that pain, I could feel the gum area was swollen, and could feel that it was 'badly swollen'.
The swell lasted about 3 weeks, then it subsided. The tooth still feel somewhere sensitive, but no pain, nothing at all.
However, I could feel some discomfort on the tooth when I feel around it with my tongue. That was about all I could do.
And yes, I delayed till today then I go and see the dentist.
I briefed him the story since the last visit, and then he checked the tooth.
Once checked, he said no need checked already.
Crack. Only way is to extract.
Wah!!! So scary. Had not extracted tooth for past 40 years or so.
The thought of it is simply, devastating. LOL
Until almost peed in the pants. Nah, I went to toilet to pee. :P
Still had to face the music.

So we moved on. With the injection to numb the nerve area and everything, we were ready to rock!
Yeah!
The assistant was told to hold my head to prevent my head from moving here and there.
*cringe*
Then he started pulling ... ...
Twisting here and there with his tool, having no regards to how my mouth and lips were pressed. Still had to breathe in and out properly to calm myself down, hearing him pulling, and can 'feel' the sound of the tooth being 'creaking' out of my gum.
But I must say, it was pretty fast. I felt it was done within 2 minutes, faster than cooking maggie mee.
Then he asked if I wanted to keep the extracted tooth.
D'uh! What for? Said no. Then after a short while, I said yes, to show Zyan. Hahaha.

Paid for it, took the medication from them, and went off.
Trauma over, but the pain will come later.
Sigh.
