Ugh. Can't believe it.
I'm in the city right now (which is 5 hours away from home) for an interview in a college and today my best friend back home just had her tooth pulled out. I had a tooth pulled out last year so before I left,
I warned her about the aftermath of the process.

Her experience with the dentist is totally different from mine.

My experience: The dentist (who came all the way from Manila) who extracted my tooth took him an hour to remove my tooth and it was painless. The catch: it was veeeery expensive.

Her experience: The dentist (who owned the clinic) who extracted her tooth took her roughly 5 hours! And it took 3 anesthesia injections but it was still painful. She lost an ample amount of blood for just one tooth.

I can imagine her misery right now, aching, poofy cheek and all. And it's her birthday tomorrow and she's gonna spend the week recovering from the trauma! And I can't even be there for her!

Sigh...
