Less Wise? Or less memory? Or both?

    Finally I got my decayed wisdom tooth extracted today. The unbearable pain has been plaguing me almost for one week. Due to the large size of my wisdom tooth, the doctor has to get me a stitch to cover up the left over cavity. The procedure took about 45 minutes. I was advised to take cold food like ice cream, ice cube or ice water. This is to stop my bleeding.
    Few days back I found an article regarding the connection of our teeth vs our memory. Researchers found that there are correlation with number of teeth vs the memory capacity of our brain. Hopefully I will not have more memory loss as I have been quite forgetful all the time.

  2. Wisdom teeth extraction .... I think the amount of my time lying on the operation chair is the longest ... with 4hours + 1 1/2 hours = 5 1/2 hours for two wisdom teeths! Really painful lo .... which dentist you went for? Uncle O's son in law?

  3. Then I must be very lucky, it took me less than a minute to have my wisdom tooth extracted, some two weeks ago. And I can eat anything I want the following day.
