tentang dia - gigi.

curiosity.

so i googled it.

shinkei tourimasu? shinkei torimasu? docchi?

(lalu kot saraf? cabut saraf? which one?)

inilah masalahnya apabila kita berada bukan di bumi sendiri. haih, hujan emas di negeri orang sungguhlah, sampai saket pon nak kne google bersungguh.

"da tau akan ada 'shinkei touru'?" akak nurse b'tanya kepada inche doktor.

"da, last week da bgtaw da. worst-case situation, akan ada 'shinkei touru'" inche doktor menjawab smbil mencucuk-cucuk gigi saya. berdas-das suntikan bius nmpknye hari ni.

di kiri ku akak nurse, di kanan ku inche doktor, dan sy terbaring tengah2 da kebas xley nk buat apa. mereka lagut berbual di atas muka sy. then, akak nurse pandang muka sy smbil b'tnye, "ok ke?". sye mengangguk mcm x berapa nk angguk. sedikit berkerut. sebenarnya dalam kepala ligat memproses perkataan 'shinkei touru', apakah ia sebenarnya? why sounds so serious? adakah sy salah dngar or salah faham?

aahh.. da x kesahlah apa inche doktor tu nk wat kt gigi sy, yg penting, lepas ni da xnk saket da.

extravaganza la jugak mesin-mesin gerudi inche dentist minggu ni, x mcm minggu lepas. well, i guess minggu lepas gigi kecik, minggu ni gigi geraham, kne work hard sket ye dak?

selesai proses mesin dan gerudi, inche doktor sempat bagi amanat,

"nnt kite produce ubat, bile saket makan ye. and next week u have to dtg lg ye"

inche doktor ensem lagi baek hati. huahuahua.

sbb curious, so balik2 smpi umah sy terus google.

hoh! ini rupanya yg doktor tu lakukan.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT!

so, bliaw cabut saraf gigi sy!

shinkei tourimasu jyanakute, shinkei torimasu. shokku.

sepanjang mereka beroperasi dlm mulut sy, sy hanya ingatkan prose gerudi2 ni akan lalu kot saraf since kecederaan gigi agak dalam, so, akan ad berdarah-darah la nnt. and doktor tu pun siap bubuh kapas tebal dlm mulut sy, so i was thinking that kapas-kapas tu memang utk serap darah yg bakal 'terpancut' kua. sy siap dok imagine lagi how would i react if i happen to see those darah-darah tuh.would i fall into pitam or i'd be steady like, 'eleh, darah..'. oh i dun think so.

but then, x sempat le plak nk tgok kapas2 berdarah nye pon. dan sekejap jek plak proses menampal nye. minggu lepas bukan maen lagi dy tarik n balut2 mcm plaster gitu punya la nk bg melekat kan.

so, curious punye pasal, sy pn gugel..

homaigaddd.. dy cabut urat saraf gigi tuh utk prevent infection.

'to cure the infection and save the tooth, the dentist drills into the pulp chamber and removes the infected pulp and then drills the nerve out of the root canal with long needle-shaped drills'

oh ia bunyinya agak ngeri.

ye, this is the needle yg doktor tu gune which i tot dy nga cuci ruang antara gigi sy jek. huhu. menyimpang jauh sama sekali rupenye.

after removing as much of the internal pulp as possible, the root canal can be temporarily filled with calcium hydroxice paste. this strong alkaline base is left for a week or more to disinfect and reduce inflammation in surrounding tissue *naruhodo.. that's why sy kne pegi lg next week.huhuu..*
after receiving a root canal, the tooth should be protected with a crown that covers the cusps of the tooth. 

also, root canal teeth tend to be more brittle than normal teeth because the blood supply to the tooth is removed during the root canal procedure, leaving the tooth without a source of moisture replenishment.
*okay, ini semakin mengerikan*

apabila sarafnya sudah tiada, maka kita xkn sedar gigi tu saket ke x sehat ke, makanya regular x-rays amat penting to ensure that the tooth is not having any problem yg kite x sedar.


the ngeri-est part is,
'after endodontic surgery the tooth will be 'dead', and if an infection is spread at apex, root end surgery is required.'

for some patients, root canal therapy is one of the most feared dental procedures - patutlah! akak nurse sgt risau ble tengok muka sy yg semacam xd perasaan.
ye, ketahuilah wahai kakak, dek kerana sy x berapa nk faham bhse ni lah makanya muka sy x berperasaan. kalau sebelum pegi sy da tau awal2 doktor tu nk korek gigi sy smpi cabut urat sume, sy wat2 pengsan kt tengah jalan kot. huhu.


masih terkejut. tp bersyukur.
terkejut satu gigiku sudah tidak 'bernyawa'.
bersyukur sbb dari awal tu memang x faham bahasa.



p/s- ingat tu kawan-kawan, jgn makan aeskem sebelum tdo, jgn malas gosok gigi sebelum tdo. jgn menzalimi diri sendiri dgn pen'torture'an sebegini.
