Just over two weeks ago, I slowly had an abscess at the back of my mouth. I wasn’t sure why it happened, but I had a educated guess that it was a result of my impacted wisdom tooth. After seeing a dentist and getting a cheap consultation, I was right. So, I immediately went on Amoxicillin to kill the infection that was causing the abscess. I, finally, was faced to the fact that I had to get my wisdom teeth out.

I went into the UCLA medical center thinking I was going to schedule myself for a future date to remove my wisdom teeth. Turns out that they had an immediate opening. So, I am now 4 wisdom teeth short. The bottom of my mouth from cheek to cheek is completely numb, even up to my right ear. It’s sorta weird, but truthfully I’d much rather feel this numbness than what I am about to face for the next few days. In fact, I can’t really eat until tomorrow, and even then I am only allowed liquid foods.
I’ll explain what happened soon; I’d rather wait until I my mouth is totally numbfree and the pain has set in, because this will give me a reason to take my mind off of the pain. Luckily, I’ll have all the drugs I need soon – VICODIN!
Speaking of which, I have yet to to actually take vicodin. And, I did not even go under any N2O while they extracted the teeth, I was fully awake and laughing.
