Warm food is what they recommended to me. Too hot and it will disrupt the healing. I just stuck with mild food to make it easier.
Yeah Weetabix is a bit risky I think. I was so worried about food bits I made sure the soup I got was pure mushroom or tomato soup without any bits in it.
When I swallowed, it felt weird because my tongue wasn't used to the new hold in my mouth so yeah you will feel as if something's pulling. Wouldn't worry about it though.
Even to this day I refuse to look in my mouth at the precise hole where my tooth was pulled. :lol I find the idea horrible. Though I remember when my wisdom tooth was cracked. Could see the innards of the tooth. D:
Eww. It feels worse knowing that having it out was a preventative measure for something that may not have ever happened. Also, did your anesthetic almost feel like it hadn't worked properly? The dentist said 'you'll feel a bit of pressure' but it felt like ahell of a lot more than a bit. Madeworse by the tooth breaking and needing two courses of pulling to get it all out. I had the shakes all over my body, and my legs were sweating to the point that the calfs of my jeans became a little damp.
Getting the anesthetic put in was less unpleasant than I thought it would be, I hated it when I got my other 4 teeth out before my braces were put in, but it was a painless and sudden operation this time
Also, I made sure not to look at the extracted tooth. I sawit out of the corner of my eye, and decided I didn't want to know. I'm fine with blood, but not when its covering an inch long piece of keratin which was recently embedded in my jaw.
As an aside, and this goes for everyone here. If you've been putting off going to the dentist, you're being stupid. I put it off for like 3 and a half years, which is possibly the stupidest thing I've done in the long term. You may think your teeth are fine (I did) but you can't be sure without the professional examination and x-ray. if I'd known about my tooth a couple of years ago, I'd have been able to pay particular attention to the space between my wisdom tooth and the one next to it, which would have prevented the decay and need for the wisdom tooth to come out
For some reason the procedure was free, but that was of no comfort as it was being done, no matter how much I tried to convince myself that I'd essentially just found £50
Can't wait til I can eat pizza again
