1. dot suck things, i know that after the surgury the dentist told me to never suck with a straw and that is exactly what i did however i suck things by nature, when i sleep, i usually sleep with my mouth closed and squeeze in as much air as possible creating a pressure pocket in my mouth that set pressure on all the loose stitching holding toethter the holes in my mouth from rippiong appart. It has been a bad habit that i have been following ever since i was a baby and it is a hard habbit it beat, so for all of you reading, dont suck things through a straw, and dont suck on yhour mouth creating pressure for the stitches.

2.always clean your tteeth, one of the reaseons why my holes got infected was becuse it hurt to open my mouth so i could not rince all the way back in the back of the mouth to clean out the unporcessed food particles that wee causeing infection in the mouth fallicales. and those holes were magnits, in fact most of the food did not go down my throught at all, it was just caught in the loose flaps of skin and sat there for hours at a time to rot, and create fungul molds. alsways clean up your mouth, even if it does hurt and cause excess bleeding.

3. medacation is good for the pain, but you need ice for the swelling, i always tie a cold pack around my cheeks with a babuska (old lady russion scarf) that makes the areas where the teeth were extracted not tend to swell up and burn the area. it also makes them less loose that takes away from them trying to grad random food particles also ttake one tablit of alive every 8 hours to stop the swelling and tynol or whaterverr pain medacation the doctor persicribed you ever 6 or 8 hours for the pain. (dont suck the pill down, take it with water or applesause)

4. try to get excersise, and stay alert watching 8 hours straight of TV or surfing the net is always a bad idea becuse you dont htinkg or move and it makes your duller and slow to react if nayitng bad happens and bad things happen a lot
