Damn dentists :(

Damn dentists and their 'preventative medicine'. I had a decaying upper right wisdom tooth, so had to get them ALL pulled since they were gonna be in there anyway. Had that done about 4ish hours ago. The general anesthetic they gave me wore off about an hour after surgery, but man i'm glad i had it. I don't remember much about the surgery itself, except that they were usin some kind of saw that kinda hurt, so they shot me more local. My face is so numb atm with all the shit they shot me full of. I'm drooling blood like crazy, and i'm just now starting to feel some soreness

Anyone got tips that have had theirs pulled out?

dentists are evil, I agree. I work for one

Yeah, don't chew back there for at least a day, no straws, drink only cold stuff, no hot and spicy foods, soft foods, and don't chew there, i know, that is twice, but if you do, and food particles get under your gums, you will prob get an infection.

Bout 8 hours and the novicaine is wearing off (wishing it wasn't now). I was worried cuz i heard about this dude who had his nerve damaged during an extraction and couldn't feel shit for like 6 months.

got mine out almost a year ago exactly... last august 20th i think or somewhere around that. I got all 4 out at once and don't even remember the first 6-8 hours afterwards because i slept between being tired and being drugged. my brother was nice and put the frozen veggies on my face. everything i ate later that day tasted like blood... I did have a friend that got a dry socket and she said it sucked.

My wife didn't complain about the whole bunch of frozen yoghurt she got to have after hers were pulled.
