The actual tooth-pulling only took ten minutes and didn’t hurt. It was a small pressure and then it was out. I knew I was supposed to only eat soft food for three or four days afterward so I had stocked up on applesauce, cream soups, yogurt and avocados. I also bought frozen peaches to make smoothies. The first four days went great, the empty tooth socket didn’t hurt and was healing nice.
I was really worried I would get dry socket but it never happened. I followed directions and rinsed with warm salt water too. I slowly transitioned to eating more solid food and I haven’t looked back. Now a month and half later it’s healed nice and there were no complications or bleeding or infections. Something finally went right! Though missing a tooth sucks.
I have a missing front molar. There was no adult tooth so I never lost the baby tooth. Eventually it dissolved itself and healed over it. No idea what actually happened to it… Happened last year after all this time.
