Had mine taken out in pairs. After the first surgery, I came home and mom took care of me. I took an anti-biotic and some pain killers and was asleep for a day or two, except for when my mom would wake me for meal time and to change gauze. I obviously had no problems there because if I had any, I slept through them. The nasty
The second time I wasn't given any pain medication and I wasn't in any sort of pain. I didn't sleep this time around and was able to manage.
I had them done by two different dentists, the first my cousin, and the second my usual dentist. I was asleep during the first procedure and awake during the second. Each recovery was different, but the one thing I did for each was to rinse and change gauze frequently. I still remember the taste. Blah! When I had my first surgery, my cousin gave me a small dropper that I could use to squirt water to the back of my mouth since I couldn't gargle water. I think the dropper helped so much. That, along with risnging frequently and changing gauze helped me.
Anther thing you may want to do, pop in one of those extremely thin mint sheets. Know what I'm talking about? An altoid may break into little pieces which may go to the back of your teeth, but those thin sheets disappear almost immediately. Maybe that will help.
Best of luck for a speedy recovery!
