Today, I want to share more about my root canal treatment. After the last treatment, I made an appointment with the dentist after 2 weeks.
Let me talk about what happened during the 2 weeks, then I will talk about my second meeting with the dentist. Two hours after my first root canal treatment, my tooth hurt like crazy because my tooth wasn't numb anymore. My tooth never felt this painful in my life before. I took the pain killers that the dentist prescribed, but it didn't help at all. I couldn't eat food, drink water, and talk. I could only sit on the sofa and put my hand on my face for 2 hours. After that, I tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't. The pain started getting better after 4 hours. I took a short nap after that. My sweet mom cooked me congee at that night because I couldn't chew anything. By the time I woke up, my tooth wasn't hurt very much. I could handle that pain without eating pain killers. However, just in case, I took the medicine before I went to sleep that night. I still need to go to work the next day. I think I was completely fine the next day. I could enjoy my lunch. If I am right, I ate rice noodles :) I didn't feel any pain after that.
OK, It's time to talk about my second appointment with the dentist. The beginning was pretty much the same as the first time. I went into the surgery room and lie down on the scary chair. The only difference was that I didn't stop the dentist from giving me the shots. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth once I lie down on the chair. I didn't get a chance to look at the metal needle again. I just waited on the chair until the dentist gave me the shots in order to numb my tooth. Yeah... I finished it at once. It hurt a lot more than the first time. I don't know why. Then I waited for about 15 minutes again until my tooth had become numb. I don't know why I kept on touching my face when it was numb. The feeling felt so weird.
The second root canal procedure took about 45 minutes again. Same as last time, the dentist gave me a rubber to bite on in order to keep my mouth open. Then the dentist put a latex sheet from the inside of my mouth to the lips. During the procedure, I could hear the same scary drill sound and the burning smell again. I did some research online before I came to the second procedure. Many people said the second time hurt a lot, so I was very scared. However, it didn't hurt at all. I remember the dentist told me that he is going to put some kind of chemical in my tooth so that it might hurt a little bit or feel uncomfortable. He told me to raise my hand if it is bad. But, I didn't have any uncomfortable feeling at all. I could only smell the nasty chemical. That's it. It wasn't hurt during the procedure. It wasn't bad at all. When I was done, the dentist took a x-ray to see if the tooth is completely done. After that, the dentist told me that I can leave now. After I paid for my surgery, I asked the nurse where is my medicine. What... the nurse told me that I don't need any medicine. What... I was so scared that it will hurt after the feeling of numb gone. So lucky that I didn't finish all the pain killers that the dentist prescribed last time, so I can still eat it when I feel painful. However, the true is that I worried too much. After the numb feeling was gone, I felt no pain. Soooo amazed.
Finally, I made an appointment to put the crown on my tooth after 3 weeks. So, I will go to the dentist again after 1 week from now. I will share with you guys my crown procedure later.
Thanks for reading...
今天，我想分享更多關於我的根管治療（灶牙根手術）。第二次治療是在２週後。
讓我來談談在2週內發生了什麼事，然後我會說說我第二次的灶牙根手術過程。在我第一次根管治療後兩小時，我的麻醉過了。然後我的牙齒痛像瘋了似的。在我的人生中，我的牙齒從未這麼痛過。雖然我己經吃了牙醫處方的止痛藥，但它並沒有太大的幫助。我不能吃食物，喝水，和說話。我只能坐在沙發上，把我的手放在我的臉上。我保持這個姿試2小時。在那之後，我試圖去睡覺，但我不能。疼痛在4小時後開始逐漸好轉。我小睡了片刻。在那天晚上，我親愛的媽媽煮好粥給我因為我無法咀嚼任何東西。當我醒來的時候，我的牙齒沒有很痛。我沒有吃止痛藥。不過，為了以防萬一，我還是在睡覺前吃了藥。第二天，我還需要去工作。我想我的牙齒己經完全沒問題。我可以享受我的午餐。如果我沒記錯，我吃了米粉 :)
好了，現在是時候來談談我的第二次灶牙根手術。開始的時候幾乎和第一次相同。我走進了手術室，並躺在那可怕的椅子上。唯一的區別是，我並沒有在牙醫給我打麻醉前把頭轉開。當我躺在椅子上，我閉上了眼睛和打開了我的嘴。所以我沒有看到那可怕的金屬針。我只是閉著眼晴等待著在椅子上，直到牙醫給我打了麻痺針。可是．．．這次比第一次痛很多。我不知道為什麼會差別這麼大。然後我又等了約15分鐘，直到我的牙齒已經變得麻木。我不知道為什麼我一直在摸我的臉。這種感覺很奇怪。
第二次的根管治療花了大約45分鐘。像上次一樣，牙醫給了我一個橡膠咬上，以保持我的嘴打開。然後牙醫把乳膠片放在我的嘴裡。在手術過程中，我能聽到同樣的嚇人鑽聲和燒味。很多人說，第二次手術會比第一次痛很多，所以我很害怕。然而，它沒有很痛。過程中，我記得牙醫告訴我，他會把某種化學物質放在我的牙齒，可能有一點點痛和不舒服。他告訴我如果痛就舉手。但是，我沒有任何不舒服的感覺。我只能聞到難聞的化學物質。就是這樣。整個手術過程中沒有什麼痛苦。當我完成後，牙醫幫我的牙拍了X光。然後我就可以離開這個可怕的房間。在我付了我的手術費後，我問護士我的藥呢。什麼......護士告訴我，我不需要任何藥物。什麼......我很害怕當麻醉過後，我的牙會很痛。很幸運，我沒有把上一次所有的止痛藥吃完，所以如果是痛我還是有止痛藥吃。然而，是我擔心太多了。之後，麻醉感消失了，我感覺不到任何疼痛。 SOOOO讚歎不已。
最後，我約了我的牙齒3週後再見（牙套）。還有1週我又要去看牙醫了。我會再跟你們分享我的牙套手術過程。
