The extraction of my wisdom teeth Some days ago I had two of my wisdom teeth extracted. It was the upper tooth of the left side of my mouth and the down tooth of the same side. It was a smooth process, although it was weird feeling the dentist messing with my teeth untill it got loose in order to take it out. I felt no pain though. After the surgery, the dentist prescribed antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatories and gave me an medical certificate which granted me two days on medical leave. The most difficult day was the first one. I had no pain in the wounds (although my jaw hurt a little bit), but it was hard to open the mouth and I had to use a patch of bandage on the wounds due to the bleeding. I had no swelling though. My teeth was already out of the gum, so the surgery was not so traumatic. I should have returned a week after it in order to take out the stitches, but something unforeseen happened 3 days after: the upper wound stitch was ripped out. I went to the dentist and she said there was no need to stitch it again. Few days after it, I got back to take out the stitch of the lower wound. I'm feeling much better now.
