Separators
I was just thinking (AGAIN) how the small, light blue coloured rubber bands called SEPARATORS that are put on the either side of the molar in front of the last molar could bring so much agony.
I mean, for starters, they are damn uncomfortable. It wasn’t so bad on the first day when the dentist put them in, but yesterday it got more painful and today isn’t any better |:
I even got a headache from the pain- thing is, the pain isn’t sharp nor excruciating, but the pain is a dull, aching and uncomfortable pain that is always there, making it almost unbearable. I have to constantly keep my upper and lower teeth apart, because when they press down together it hurts.
The worse part, however, is when it’s time to EAT. I’ve never realised how much I take my teeth for granted! My sister and I have taken to swallowing our food barely-chewed, mashed if possible.
“Later you get indigestion,” says our Mum. But what’s there for us to do? We’re doing everything we can to not chew, which isn’t nice because I like to taste my food |:
I had peanut soup after dinner. I love peanut soup
Sad thing about my teeth though. It was pathetic trying to eat the tang yuan in 10 bites or something, when normally it was so easy to pop it into the mouth in 2 bites. And it was terribly hard to chew! IT WAS SO CHEWY.
I shall not shall not shall not complain.
BUT LET THIS WEEK PASS QUICK SO THAT THE DENTIST CAN TAKE THEM OUT AND PUT THE METAL RINGS IN!~
