My green plums are very sour

After a week of swollen gums, the inflammation finally subsided, and the tip of the tongue did not feel swollen when I tried it lightly.I finally breathed a sigh of relief.But soon became tense again.

I went to the hospital for an examination two days ago when the pain was unbearable. I took a picture and found that the position of the lower wisdom tooth was not right. It was not vertically upward, but was in a clip with the teeth that had erupted next to it. If you continue to let it grow, it will inevitably squeeze the space of the front teeth, so it is best to choose to pull it out.

However, the doctor said that we have to wait for the swelling to subside before doing it, and we have to start early in the morning, because the situation is more complicated and the steps are quite troublesome.

I have been very afraid of pain since I was a child. Every time I go to the hospital, my calves will go weak with fright, especially when I see a dentist.So when Ning Ran said that he would accompany me to extract a tooth, I immediately agreed, at least someone gave me courage.

But what made me laugh and cry was that on the morning before leaving the house, she seemed to be more nervous than me.I have been restless since I got up, and asked me many times if it will hurt.

Ning Ran let go of the hand that had been holding my sleeve until we registered and queued in the corridor.I looked down and saw that the cuffs of the originally fluffy down jacket were wrinkled as if they had just been flooded.

I can't help but find it funny, maybe she will be weaker than me when I go in later.

Ning Ran seemed to realize that he was a little too nervous, so he straightened his face and sat upright.However, he collapsed within a few minutes, glanced at me quietly, and then stared at the door of the consulting room.

We went out early, and there was only one patient in front of us, and the problem should not be too big, so it was over soon, and it was my turn to go in.

As soon as the nurse came to the door to call the number, Ning Ran stood up like a conditioned reflex. Although I was still sitting, my heart was still feeling weak.

The smell in the consulting room is really bad, and there is always a disgusting feeling.I suppressed the discomfort in my chest and sat down on the chair tremblingly.

The attending physician was an uncle about 50 years old. He was writing a medical record for the last patient at the desk. When he heard the movement behind him, he turned around and looked at him. His eyes were calm and unwavering, as if he didn't care how nervous the person who just came in was. .

The nurse who called the number didn't pay any attention to us anymore, and was preparing the tools that will be used later.

Ning Ran followed closely beside me. Seeing the attending doctor standing up and picking up the film I took two days ago, she followed her and asked softly, "Doctor, is it troublesome to extract this tooth? Will it hurt?"

The attending physician rolled his eyes and glanced lightly at us. His tone was quite light, and it can be said that he didn't care much, but the words he said made me tremble in my heart.

"No trouble. Cut the gums first, then crack the tooth, grind off a small piece of bone, take out the broken tooth, and finally sew stitches."

When I heard the first sentence, I was still slightly relieved. After he finished speaking, a thin layer of sweat broke out on my back. I held my pants tightly with both hands, and raised my head to look at Ning Ran with some anxiety. glance.She was obviously also a little frightened, looking in a daze.

The nurse who was preparing next to me seemed to be unable to stand it any longer. She put a small plastic box on the dental chair, hid behind the mask and laughed, "What are you afraid of? You will feel nothing after the anesthetic .”

The attending physician who was scaring us just now also put on his mask and kept laughing. While putting on his gloves, he motioned for me to lie down, "Don't tremble, I will try to be as gentle as possible, and try to get it done within two hours."

My heart was completely cold, and the expression on my face was more uncomfortable than eating bitter melon. I could only lie down on the dental chair obediently, with my fingers tightly clasped on the chair under me.

Ning Ran seemed to want to follow, but after walking two steps, she felt that something was wrong, so she stopped quickly.

The doctor asked me to open my mouth, supported my chin with one hand, and fiddled with the tweezers in the other hand, gently touching the place where the wisdom teeth grew.My heart tightened, and there was a strange feeling in my ribs, and I subconsciously screamed, and a few drops of physiological tears overflowed from my eyes.

"Oh, I haven't done it yet." The doctor looked very serious, and he was still in the mood to tease me at such a tense moment, "Relax, yes, open your mouth, ready to administer anesthesia."

Since I opened my mouth for too long, my mandibles were so sore, my eyes were filled with physical tears, and my vision was blurred by the light on the dental chair, and I could only vaguely see the shadow of Ning Ran.

I subconsciously closed my eyes, not daring to see the doctor holding the tools in front of my eyes anymore, but the tactile sensation became more obvious in this way, and whatever the doctor did to my teeth would be infinitely magnified.

I could bear it while rubbing the anesthetic, until he cut his gums open, and there was a strong smell of blood in his mouth. I finally couldn't help sobbing, my back was pressed against the chair under me, and my heart was throbbing in my throat. The ground was beating, and the whole person was as stiff as a piece of wood without feeling.

Ning Ran who was standing aside also took a deep breath, even louder than my wailing.

I haven't dared to open my eyes, I can only catch the movement around me with my ears.

I don’t know how long it took, the doctor picked up a small hammer and began to gesticulate in my mouth, and tried to tap it from time to time. The dull pain made my whole face wrinkle into twists, and my mouth, which had been open all the time, unconsciously It's about to close.

"Eh? Why is it closed? Open it quickly." The doctor shouted immediately, and gently pulled it twice with a small hammer.Even though my jaw was so sore that it was almost unbearable, I had to try again to open my mouth wide.

Ning Ran watched from the sidelines for a long time, but at this moment it seemed that he couldn't stand it any longer, his voice was a little trembling, and he said unsteadily, "I, I'm going out first, waiting for you outside."

Then he left the consultation room in a panic, his footsteps sounded a little messy.

I'm glad she didn't stay inside to watch the whole process, otherwise we might have to support each other to leave the hospital at the end.

Compared with the following steps, the previous steps are a piece of cake and are not worth mentioning at all.

It was only when I heard the sound of tinkling teeth in my ears and the smell of burnt bones from the tip of my nose that I truly realized how painful it is to extract wisdom teeth.

I have no concept of time, and I don't know how long it has passed.The moment I got off the dental chair, I almost collapsed, and my feet felt light on the ground.The hemostatic cotton in his mouth pressed against his cheek, like a swollen bag.

Ning Ran was waiting at the door. Hearing the movement inside, he quickly opened the door and came in. He looked me up and down worriedly.

"Okay, didn't I tell you that it doesn't hurt?" I couldn't help cursing in my heart, this liar.

The doctor took off the mask, and still said calmly, "Originally, I planned to let you stay in the hospital for a few days, because your tooth is more troublesome, which is equivalent to a minor operation."

My face froze, afraid that he would say something to scare me again.

"But it doesn't matter if you don't want to. Be careful when you go back and don't eat too hot things. Well, you can put some ice cubes on it, or buy some popsicles. The stitches will be removed in half a month."

I can finally put my mind back.

Ning Ran said goodbye to the doctors and nurses for me, and led me out of the hospital, looking back from time to time along the way, her eyes always falling on my swollen left cheek.

"Does it hurt?"

I pulled down the corner of my eyes, isn't this asking nonsense?

She herself realized that the question was unnecessary, pursed her lips in embarrassment, and asked again: "The wound is still bleeding?"

There was still a large piece of cotton wrapped in my mouth, so I couldn't speak at all, so I could only nod with a displeased face.

When I was fast entering the community, I passed the convenience store at the door. I stood at the door and refused to leave, staring at the freezer by the window.After spitting out the hemostatic cotton, the effect of the anesthetic is almost over, but the astringent feeling still remains in the mouth, which is very uncomfortable.I was desperate for something to eat to suppress this feeling.

But Ning Ran would never agree to buy popsicles for me.The reason is simple, the weather is too cold, eating popsicles is not good for the stomach.

After sitting on the sofa for about ten minutes, I was still depressed, with the corners of my mouth drooping and refusing to move.After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, the place where the knife was moved began to fight back, and the pain nerves on the entire left cheek seemed to be activated, twitching from time to time, and the pain made half of my face numb.

After Ning Ran was busy with the work at hand, she turned to the living room and found that I was paralyzed like a dead fish and hummed non-stop, so she went into the kitchen to get some ice cubes, wrapped them in cotton cloth, and stuck them to my swollen cheeks I tried to use ice compresses to help me relieve the pain.

The temperature was already very low, and he was still holding a pack of ice cubes in his hand. Even with a layer of cotton cloth behind him, the bone-piercing cold forced Ning Ran to change hands all the time, breathing on them constantly.

However, this method only temporarily delays the transmission of pain, and paralyzes the nerves through low temperature. When the temperature rises and the iced parts regain consciousness, the pain will still come violently, and may even intensify.

"It still hurts?" Ning Ran put away the cotton cloth and ice cubes, frowned and looked directly at me.

I pursed my mouth and nodded, already planning to give up struggling, and just let it hurt like this.

As soon as I lowered my head, Ning Ran put his hand on my right chin. Before I could react, a warm touch came from the swollen part of my left cheek. It took only a moment, and I left immediately.

I was a little dazed, and raised my head to look at Ning Ran in surprise.

Her eyes wandered around, and her expression was unnatural, then she picked up the ice cubes thrown on the coffee table, got up and left, coughed twice and said, "You'd better bear it first."

I was stunned for a while, and only after her back disappeared behind the kitchen door did I come back to my senses. I stretched out my hand and gently touched my cheek, which was very hot.I think I might really need to ice it for a while longer.
