Wisdom teeth (what they didn't tell me)

Here is what you may not want to know if you are considering wisdom teeth extraction late in life.

"Healing is usually complete after 2 to 3 months from the time of the extraction."

I have this puffyness in my mouth that just does not go away... and because of that food gets caught between my cheek and molars. So I have this gross puss stuff in my mouth after every meal that I must carefully sweep out with a toothbrush while tugging at each of my cheeks in a mirror. If I fail to do this, the stuff begins to stink giving me dragon breath or worse: the foul stuff comes loose while drinking water or yawning or talking. I must also be careful not to sweep it out too vigorously or I begin to bleed at that spot. Well I complain but I guess it could be worse. Rebecca said to take a look around at all the 24 hour emergency dental offices, you don't want to put off dental work until you need to go to one of those. Also, if their is a major catastrophe, simple health problems can become major issues as they cannot be handled when the needed infrastructure has been damaged (utilities, roads, personnel, etc..)

Even so, I still say blah.
