Here I go again. Now I am having gum problems. A few days ago, I eat something hard and it sort of went deep in between my teeth and cut my gums there. I think it got infected and now it is swollen (with a little greenish pus). Initially it was a small problem and I didn’t think that it was that serious. So I being a genius at dental problems decided to go and poke it with a needle. Well, that got rid of the pus but the infection now grew worse. It was in fact spreading! And the swell is bigger now! So big that it looks like I have something on one side of my mouth.

Sad. So I went to the dentist who then did a better job in reducing the swell and cleaning the little wound. He told me that my gum is badly infected and germs had gotten in. Hey, he used a little knife thingy to cut the pus and disgusting black-colored blood came pouring out. He then gave me some medicine and antibiotic to reduce swelling and hooray, he also gave me one day worth of medical leave! I love my dentist. I guess he thought that the “massive” lost of blood will render me incapable of work or anything. Anyway my gum feels much better after taking the medicine too. At least I don’t have problem opening my mouth anymore.

Well, what the morale of the story is don’t try to be clever. If you don’t know anything about something, don’t stick your hand in. You will get bitten. Especially if you don’t have much common sense like me. And remember to always brush your teeth and floss daily.
