I remember getting my wisdom teeth out at 20. And the warning of the dry socket. They were obsessed with it. And feel like they told me to stick antiseptic soaked cotton balls in there if I had to smoke. But that was 18+ years ago. And many many drugs. There was definitely something about antiseptic mouthwash.

I was told not to smoke too. But like you I was 18 and said fuck it. I didn't believe the hype, :lol:

Drinking from a straw or smoking can cause a dry socket and they can be bad. Dental surgery stinks, hope you're feeling better.
A true statement.

I gamble.

Each time a dentist gave me these directives, I thanked them for their service and proceeded upon my merry way.

On my way to the convenience store for an adult beverage, all the while puffing a pinch hitter.

Same, same, and I was 17. They gave me Valium, shit got me in trouble on the way home, didn't realize it was a truth serum. I said something like, "No wonder they quit prescribing this stuff so often in the 70's, mom. The drugs today suck, you guys had better drugs."

I had some serious explaining to do the next day.

My dad pulled his own tooth out a few years ago, to save $100. Got good and drunk and pulled it with vice grips. Ouch!!

I have had 2 wisdom teeth pulled by a dentist. Oral surgeon wanted $1,000, or the dentist was $100. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected....But I wouldn't want to do 6 at once!!
Mine were wisdom teeth too. That gave me a healthy fear of dentists.
