Just, please, use that crazy syringe thing to wash out the holes after you've eaten.

I had dry sockets after having mine removed. I thought that simply taking the syringe and spraying water into the hole would empty it of it's contents. How I was mistaken. Shove it into the hole and BLAST THAT CRAP OUTTA THERE.

The instant pain would have made up for 3 weeks of nonstop SOLDERING IRON IN MY JAW feeling.
