I am traveling here. two of my wisdom teeth at the lower decided to erupted recently. I started to feel them about 3 weeks ago. I knew I needed to get it removed sometimes in life.

I want to get to a big city before I remove these, so I waited till I get to medellin for this.

I arrived here yesterday morning. I went to this dentistry school to see what they could do. They told me they needed an x-way to see how my teeth look like. so I paid about $10 for an x-way. it was pretty advanced panoramic scan same has this one

The dentist told me the lower ones need to be extracted. she could schedule me in at 7am the next day, which was today. she gave me a list to get 3 meds at a pharmacy too. the drugs cost me about $30.

the operation went okay, dentist said i didn't bleed a lot and it was a difficult surgery. we were done in 1 hour.

the cost of the operation = COP 280,000 or $160ish.

have an appointment to see her next thursday to remove the stitches.

currently in pain right now......

Since your in Columbia, you'll probably get some coke for the pain. Good times.

At least he's in a country where they know how to make a good pain killer...and it should be relatively affordable...and readily available.
