Thanks for the support. This is my first tooth extraction since my wisdom teeth 30 years ago. I am such a wuss.
No you're not, extractions can be both scary and painful. I've had 2 in the past few years, and I was terrified, I had to "shop" for a dentist who would cater to my fear, and I was fortunate to find one who didn't make one move toward extraction until he was absolutely 100% certain that my mouth was completely numb, they "layered" numbing techniques on me, I think you could have probably hit me in the face with a brick and I wouldn't have felt a thing. Anyway, you're past the scary part now, you just need to rest and recover. Nutrition nutrition nutrition! I lived on warm mashed potatoes with butter for a few days, lol
