16 September 2024 - Dental Implant lower right last molar
So it's after 3 months from pulling out my lower right last molar which was previously my crown tooth. It's time to fix the dental implant. It is 3k but $1250 can use medisave to pay. Which papa suggested to use his medisave.

I am so scared. I didn't dare to watch any video about dental implant. But to my surprise, other than the needle pain when injecting the anesthesia, the entire process was close to painless although I am shivering. It was even better than wisdom tooth extraction. But I can feel someone drilling a nail down my gum and tightened it using a bolt and nut and lastly sewing it with a thread. My appointment was 12.45pm and finished at about 1.30pm with alot of xray taken at every step to check how deep the nail had gone in. The bleeding didn't stop till evening 6plus but I decided to just remove the gauze. The first thing when I reached home at 2pm is to eat the strong painkiller in case I really cannot take it. But after that, it was painless just many blood on the gauze and that's all. I did not eat the normal painkiller they prescribed. So I just ate the antibiotics.
2 weeks later, 30 Sep 2024,I will need to head back to remove the stitch.
