I'm guessing it must be dental tradition to get as many people's wisdom teeth yanked out on July 21. Logan Ewald did the exact same today. (I have no wisdom teeth at all btw. According to Mr. Price, genetic, evolutionary mutation.)
Avoid any kind of sucking action, like drinking through a straw. Excessive mouth rinsing can be a problem too. And be careful not to let any food impact the holes...I think that's what did me in. That's all I can remember. If you follow all your dentist's instructions and are generally careful, you'll be fine. Basically, just remember there's a blood clot back there trying to heal your gums; if it gets disturbed too much and gets sucked out, the bone is exposed and congratulations, you have dry socket.
