Mashed potato’s are life after not being able to eat all day after a tooth extraction. I am not looking forward to the next 3 wisdom teeth removals, but at least I know what to expect and prepare for. #mashedpotatoes #food #TeethExtraction #teeth #wisdomteeth #health

Don Hertzfeldt scares me sometimes. But I'm compelled to watch.

Do we need our #wisdomteeth removed? Experts say this common procedure may be unnecessary
Salon.com · Do we need our wisdom teeth removed? Experts say this common procedure may be unnecessaryWisdom teeth are a vestige of when humans needed more molars; they are unnecessary but must they be removed?
Continued thread
I’m seeing the oral surgeon again today, just to make sure it’s healing properly. The incision sites are tender, but my other molars are killing me. It feels like I have cavities in them. Anyone who’s had #WisdomTeeth surgically extracted: how long did it take for your pain to go away?
(Yes, I’m asking the internet for medical advice. #WebMDSaysItsCancer )
How's everyone's day going. I hope better than mine. I'm in extreme #pain here. This is the third day after #OralSurgery to have all 4 of my #WisdomTeeth extracted. They said the second and third days would be the worst, and they were definitely right. If you're hoping for another #Blog post from me, I'll try to do one once the pain calms down.
So several weeks after the #WisdomTeeth extraction, I thought I'd try my night splint (because I clench my jaw and that doesn't help.)
Of course, it now doesn't fit.
There's another ... thousand dollars or so, I'm guessing... #DentalCosts
Since my jaw is still very painful after the #WisdomTeeth extraction on the 18th, I called the dental surgeon today, and managed to get an appointment for Tuesday. I’m getting very tired of not sleeping well, and restricted eating. Poor Wonderdog is also still very sore, after the nerve injury in her back, and not her usual happy boingy self. She’s also not thrilled at her new diet and the sudden cutback in treats!
Today’s photo is from a few years back, Wonderdog shows one of her many skills.
Call back from the specialist: this could last 6 weeks, it’s “quite normal.”
“But I can’t brush my teeth!”
“I’ve spoken to doctor, just do the best you can, and we’ll send that script for pain relief over to your pharmacy for you.”
Well, today I learned that this misery has a name, and it is trismus. And that no, I probably shouldn’t be feeling quite this bad a week after surgery. Whoops, eh? So tomorrow I’m definitely calling the specialist, and probably heading back for a chat. Which means I have to get up early, and I’m not sleeping well, because I’m still in pain, and … arrrrgh!
The boys successfully gobbled up spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner!! 
Then they thought it would be fun to make the other one laugh because it hurts their face to laugh. But they end up laughing and hurting themselves. So both are sitting here with ice packs back on their cheeks while moaning that the other one made them laugh. 
The 17 yr olds had their wisdom teeth extracted this morning. They are finally back to normal. That was something else. Now I relax and resume normal programming.
