When I Got My Wisdom Teeth Taken Out
By: Alexia Cate


One early morning, I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I was waiting patiently for my name to be called. Finally my name was called. After the surgery I had to stay awake, it was hard because I was tired. My body felt a little weak. When I got home my mom changed the goss, it was a little painful. It felt like there was a lot of pressure.

I couldn’t eat either, and it was hard for me to open my mouth. But I had to practice everyday. I got better, but I had to go back to the doctor twice just to make sure everything was okay. Everyday I got better and better.

I finally got better and everything was fine. I still have one more wisdom tooth left because it was too hard to take out.
