| There's really not much you can do to speed the process of healing. The mouth is a really unique and nasty place. It stays warm, moist, and is full of bacteria...not the ideal place for wound healing.
Tootsall is right. Do all you can to avoid the dry socket...that is real pain!
PS. Avoid racket ball courts also. Popped the stitches on the other side when my doubles partner (cute girlfriend at the time) whacked my jaw (accidentally) with her racket. Restitching is not fun...avoid at all costs. |
