a very important question

what's really weird is that I can feel the stitches on my gums & it's taking ALL of my self control to not somehow rip them out (like picking a scab, I guess

so how do you do it without creating suction? or is it top secret?

[chelsabeth]

it involves packing your gums with that nice gauze they gave you & taking "baby puffs"

ok, so i had to have a tooth pulled because it grew in crooked, and i don't even smoke, but i was in the house with my parents who did. i got dry socket. IT WAS HORRIBLE, you do not want it. your mouth tastes awful, it smells bad, and then they put this weird medicinal plug in your mouth. not to mention the pain. do not smoke. even baby puffs. i'm not saying this to scare you, i'm saying this to try and help.

eeeeeeeeek!

hey, how is your healing going? are you allowed to do stuff now?

chels! be really careful about smoking.. my friend smoked after he got his wisdom teeth out and got dry sockets and said it's one of the worst pains he's ever experienced.
