ONE MORE THING

There are certain things you should not do after having a tooth pulled.

   The Oral Surgeon explains in great detail.  No food then soft food.   No gargling, no swishing, no drinking with a straw.  The patient is to do nothing that will disturb the extraction site for prompt and prudent healing.  

   Well, folks there is one more thing you shouldn't do that could suck the clot out of your wound and cause a painful dry socket.

Yea, that's right.  But it was worth it.
