Holes

I think that the most annoying thing about get impacted teeth removed is the holes that is leaves in the back of your mouth. The actual operation is a breeze. They usually put you to sleep and it's rather exciting if your awake. The numbness afterwards is annoying but it only last a short while. They give you more than enough pain relievers to deal with the pain. Most of the problems of removing impacted teeth are rather easily dealt with.

Most of the problems that is except for the holes in the back of one's. Food falls in them when you're eating and then rots. You can't reach in their to get it out. The holes are too small. They give a little squirter that's supposed to squirt the food out but its impossible to find the holes with the squirter in your mouth. The most you can do is kind of suck at the back of you're mouth and hope it sucks out the food. This doesn't work either but at least it feels as if you are doing something about it. The food however still rots. Your breath changes and no matter how much brushing you do people can smell the food rotting in the back of your mouth. You're banished i nto a kind of 'bad-breath-hermitage.' The holes are supposed to close up after six weeks, but that's a long time to live in a hermitage.
