there's a hole/opening in my gum, on the lower jaw behind the last molar on the right.
i suspect it's a wisdom tooth coming out.

did a little research about it, and it's freaking me out.

firstly, there may be problems such as impacting and infection with the emergence of the tooth.

secondly, if it has to be extracted, the procedures are so dreadful. i have a serious fear for dentists, dental treatments, dental surgeries and anything related.

that's not the end. there are post-extraction problems to deal with as well, the most basic of which is the bleeding which lasts for A FEW days. ensuring that the blood clots and not doing dumb things that dislodge the clot is another thing i'm so worried about.

the thought of all these are just so disgusting. omgosh. eww.

science and technology should develop/improve to make dental treatments/surgeries less intimidating, seriously. i'll be so grateful to the scientists/researchers/whatever-you-call-them.
