Feeling good after 2 days of rest since accident's date of occurrence, surprised that i didn't have much trouble sleeping with those wounds beside the cold breeze blowing which did cause some pain but at the same time helped numb the wounds, hahaha!
Off to UCLA Venice Dental Center

Arrived there and was able to skip the registration etc as i've already emailed my particulars to them in advance which saved a little time. They decided to let me in for examination as they felt i require immediate attention, was told to come back after lunch.
Meanwhile, i went across the road to buy some snacks and collect my medications from the pharmacy - Yes, you don't get anything from the hospitals here, you're given a prescription and you're expected to collect the items at a local pharmacy. It's not convenient like back home where you simply step into a hospital polyclinic or private clinic where you get medicines or extra dressing on the spot.
Back to dental center, gotten x-ray, doctor changed temporarily filling, said I may require root canal and some permanent filling in on my next appointment. It's such a hassle to be in this type of situation especially when you're alone, have to contact the insurances and returning to hospital/dental clinic for follow-ups but I only have myself to blame... Still thankful for all the assistance rendered to me though!
Time to go recuperate, end.
