At this point, this was a deadly end for me, I thought it was nothing to be scared about. Its just a tooth! How bad could it be? Imagine going through a more and worst critical operations. What happens to those who go through a life-death operations and surgeries I said all that to myself, so many thoughts came running through my mind. I just couldn't help. The more I wanted to act cool and strong, the more scared I became. To even add to my fears, the pains was hell, trust me, you wouldn't wanna experience it. I woke up feeling very dizzy after the operation, as if my legs couldn't carry me, I attempted a fall but I was held back by the nurses and the dentist who operated on my tooth. I was asked if I go make it home, deep down I knew I couldn't carry myself home, because I was feeling very dizzy, weak and dump to make it clear. This was due to the amnesia I was given so I could be operated on. Through out the night, I didn't feel much pain on the part I was operated on but blood never stopped gushing out my gums, I had to use cotton wools to absorb most of the blood. My jaw became numb, I couldn't feel half of my face, everything on a part of my face became numb as well. The more reason I didn't feel the pains of having my tooth removed.

Here the bad news is; after the night experience, the major pains and hassle just begun, my jaw and gum ached so badly that most times I just couldn't hold the tears. I had to cry and yelled. But it didn't change anything. I remember vividly the dentist telling me to stay away from sweet things and try as much as possible to brush thrice a day. He also gave me an assignment, this actually occurred before the tooth removal, he frankly asked me if I could rinse my mouth 64 times a day with warm salt water for two straight weeks. He said he could only proceed with the operation if I agreed to the terms and conditions. And I hurrily said yes thinking it was an easy task after all. While it seemed like an easy task for the first 3-4days, but it became difficult and much of a stress for the remaining days. But I couldn't helped but stick to the doctor's instructions because I was more scared of what could possibly happened if I stopped half way. This was because of how adamant and strict the doctor said it. So I just had to adhere to the instructions.

I finished my medications in a blow, that I now had to solely depend on the salt solution for a speedy healing of my gum. I did it without skipping, I wasn't enjoying it to be very honest, at some point I always felt like vomiting or have nausea because of the salt solution. Yet I had to endure. Even the scripture says that affliction shall not rise the second time, I did all that, enduring everything because I just knew there wouldn't be a second time. So I just had to play along for a moment.

Now the Goodnews is that after my two weeks experience, my gum began to heal. I wasn't feeling any pains again on both my jaws and gums. I became a living testimony that I even start lecturing people about my predicaments and an escape route. This is a warning to you all that loves sweet things and to every parents out there that feeds their children with sweet things and food with high carbohydrates and fibre content, it's not good for your tooth as well as your children's. Reduce its intake and stay safe. The experience wasn't a very pleasant one and so I wouldn't want it for others. Help yourself keep yourself healthy and free from such predicaments

Health is wealth...! Stay safe..! Stay healthy..! I am happy and feel very pleased sharing my testimony. Coming from your beloved sis; # zellypearl Thanks for your time and attention.! Posted using [Partiko Android](https://partiko.app/referral/zellypearl)
