Since I had that tooth pulled on Monday I've been experiencing a bit of pain and discomfort in the socket and the tooth adjacent that needed some work. Looking over the notes the dentist gave me before I left, it maybe that I am experincing
Alveolar Osteitis (Dry Socket).
In that article it says that the socket should retain the bloodclot, but when I removed the gauze an hour or so after the extraction it may have come out with it. I shall have to see how it goes, keep it clean, and see what he says when I go back in a week to have the other tooth fixed.

In a seperate note, I have found a fantastic boardgame that everyone down the shop seems to have fallen in love with. It's called the
World Cup Game. I heartily recommend it if you like your fun boardgames, whether you are a footie fan or not.
