I was gonna have it removed around a month and a half ago, but had to get other work done.

I'm not sure, its like 75% grown in with a tiny bit covered by gums still, but it has a hole in it and the dentist said it'll be easiest to just pull it instead of get a filling

the last one i had removed was still complettely covered by gums and they had to cut my mouth open which sucked. it hurt for like 2 weeks after and the pain pills didnt really do much

the dentist just yanked it right out as soon as the local anesthesia set it

that was a couple hours ago, its starting to wear off and i have to get my prescription still.. i forgot how annoying the gauze stuff is, and my mouth keeps bleeding its really kinda gross.. i hope i only need the gauze for a few days but im so scared of dry socket.

and to make matters worse, my dentist said "no stress for the next two days"

and what am i greeted with upon my return to gamefaqs??? they're banning CE. so, uh, yeah... so much for no stress.

Treat Straws and spicy stuff like they have ebola + covid.

I associate wisdom teeth with Steamworld Dig 2. Marathon'd 100%'d it in a couple days while recovering.

What are you doing to pass the time and try to ignore the bleeding/hunger/discomfort?

Hopefully everything goes well. I am getting one removed also this coming wednesday.

When you feel comfortable eating normally again, keep a drink with you for a month or so, because food will get caught in the gap left behind. A quick swish will get it out.
