Edited

I think people should not lose or remove their teeth.

I had a very painful tooth and I couldn’t eat food or sleep very well because of it. It was a sad and painful story for me to talk about/tell. So, I went to the hospital to look for help. Shanghai hospitals have a lot of patients, every surgery must be booked. The dentist helped me make an appointment and told me to take some painkillers if I can’t stand the pain. A week later, I went to the hospital to have surgery where the dentist tried to fix my tooth for 2 hours but he couldn’t save it.

Half an hour after, the dentist said, “There is no way for this tooth to be saved, just pull it out. It’s the only way.” I was so tired from the surgery and painkillers, I agreed to have my tooth pulled.  I wasn’t thinking straight.

Now, I think the dentist could have made a better decision that is also better for me. I regret having my tooth removed. My teeth should never leave my mouth, but now that it’s gone, I feel sad for the next few days.
