Waking up with the rising sun.. |
I
finally decided to undergo oral surgery, namely the extraction of tooth 17 in the very back of the lower left; the decision was made rather spontaneously. I liked one of the options offered by the oral surgeon I was referred to; previous alternatives just sounded too daunting so I had been postponing a decision. My initial intention was to save this tooth at all costs but taking the big picture into
consideration and what the surgeon suggested made a lot of
sense thus I reconsidered, and opted to sacrifice the tooth to improve overall dental function.
While
I was sitting in the chair waiting for the surgeon to begin, I did the usual DC Basic Session and some hand reflexology*, in addition to tuning into my breath to be more relaxed. I even did a light forward bend - the dentist's chair was inviting me to do so:-) As
usual I wanted to go easy on the anesthesia and being as balanced, as relaxed as possible would support this.
