Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Who's had it done? How'd you cope?

Hey guys,
I just had my wisdom teeth pulled on Monday morning. I had 2 teeth (top) that had come through the gum and 2 teeth (bottom) that were impacted (I think? They were growing diagonally into my other teeth, below the gums).
Anywhos, the pain isn't so bad that I need narcotics (I've been very stubborn about that) so I've been taking lots of ibuprofen, tylenol and the antibiotic I was prescribed.
I'm still super swollen but last night (BIG accomplishment) I was finally able to close my mouth lol. I'm still terrified to brush my teeth like normal though, even though they said it's okay, because I can't open my mouth wide enough.
I'm also terrified of giving myself dry socket lol especially right before school starts! And I'm supposed to work tomorrow. I'm a hairdresser so talking is essential.. sooo we'll see how that goes haha.
Anyone else have stories to share?
