And the dentist wonders why I never listen to him when he tells me I need my wisdom teeth removed.
Doc: "You need your wisdom teeth removed." Me: "Why?" Doc: "Because they're impacted, and can cause all sorts of problems." Me: "Such as?" Doc: "Pain, cavities on your back molars, infection. Pain, mostly." Me: "Haven't had any pain." Doc: "Doesn't matter. You still need them removed." Me: "Whatever. See you in six months."
This has happened about six times to this point, and I still haven't had any problems with my wisdom teeth. Anything they have to give you THAT much medication for shouldn't be an elective surgery, which is really what it is for me right now.
Two words: Milk. Shake. You use a straw, you bypass all of the KDOT-inspired sections of your mouth (even the bacterium with the little "Stop" sign on your incisors). Otherwise, make the most of it. Use the grewsome sight of your Frankenstein-esque gums to freak out co-workers. At least get some glee out of it.

And let me know if you need anything.
