He explained that he was going to numb my mouth in order to remove what could only be described as shrapnel. “Sharp pinch…” I winced as I felt it slide into my already swollen gum but it quickly became numb. He then took what I would call a pair of pliers, of course they were medical grade, and began to roughly and efficiently pull the remainder of my tooth out causing more blood to fill my mouth.

He placed a cylinder shaped gauze into the gap and told me to bite hard to stop the bleeding. He removed his rubber gloves and wrote a few notes down in my folder before flipping back to the page which I know to be my burns.
