Worse yet, El's probably right (sorry about that) -- First the shock (and it feels like it's healing super fast) then the healing process takes time -- and Ibuprofin is often your best friend during this kind of healing.

It *will* get better -- honest!

(see what happens when your new wife has old army medics as friends? ;>)

But you forgot to pass on military wisdom for healing gums.

I know when I was in the AF and had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled, everyone and their mother told me to drink pineapple juice, it helped the healing.

Good call! I clean forgot that (been out 20+ years -- sometimes one forgets the simple stuff ;>).

And the more natural the juice, the better :>.

ok i can go from pain to dead.... pineapple juice is a no go for me. one of the meds i take has a time release on it. there's big stupid warnings saying don't take with pineapple juice. basically the acid from that eats the time release... and i get the whole day dose instantly... not good...
