NERVE BY OMENESA

I went to see the Dentist today to extract my tooth. Nothing could have prepared me for the news I was about to receive. After doing an x-ray, the Surgeon told me that my left wisdom tooth, is so embedded deep into my jaw, almost touching my nerve line.

She showed me the line, and I cringed. She made it very clear of the complications involved in doing such a procedure so close to my nerve, which could result to total or partial nerve damage, paresthesia, causing facial numbing, lip twitching, a broken jaw, bleeding, or even death.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. She gave me a referral to see a hospital Surgeon for a laser x-ray, which would determine just how close the nerve is to the tooth, then they can determine what to do about my situation.

In the meantime, she hoped I wouldn’t start to feel pain in my gum, and stated that I have inflammation, which is a sign of pending pain, especially since it once hurt before, just like the left wisdom tooth did, before I pulled it out in 2016.

This page will not be able to contain my narration of that extraction. It was a NIGHTMARE, and I pray I don’t end up in something worse with this left side. First thing tomorrow morning, I will be at the hospital to schedule an appointment for the more intense x-ray.

I need to get to the bottom of this. I don’t really dread the pain that she says is about to befall me, I do dread the risk of touching my nerve. Wow, it’s amazing how something that seems so small, can be the line between life and death.

Amazing! Meanwhile , the wisdom tooth is so foolish after all, it is not even needed for ANYTHING, yet it occupies so much space, YET, and has the nerve to stand right next to a nerve that could make or break me(Pun Intended).

I can correlate this to our emotions and our relationships. Many at times we hold on to people and things that don’t serve us, and we keep them so close to our nerve endings that LITERALLY threaten our lives.

When it comes time to EXTRACT them, many threats seem to arise because of how close they were to our heart. May God have mercy on us all!!! Amen

IN A NUTSHELL

1. The best time to remove your wisdom tooth is before you turn 30. In your early 20’s, your jaw bone can stand the trauma and permanently recuperate.
2. Wisdom teeth should be removed. They don’t serve a purpose in our mouth nor dentition. They just crowds up space.
3. If you felt the pain before, chances are you will feel it again . You have to do something about the root.
4. Pain killers could work in the meantime.
5. Before opting surgery, ponder on all your options.
6. There is no such thing as a small surgery. Every surgery is delicate and life threatening.
7. Sometimes in life, you would find yourself between a rock and a hard place. You must be STILL at such a time and go to the specialist, who knows what’s best for you. His name is Dr Jesus.
8. Inflammation is a sign that pain is headed your way. Don’t ignore the swollen aspects of your life.
9. Don’t be in a haste to extract anything or anyone without proper consideration. Unless there is pain, it could serve as a filler.
10. Fillers could be a bridge, sometimes. They could straighten the equation .
