How do you prevent dry sockets? No straws, no chewing, anything else?
Yeah, no straws. You can chew (more like bite) but don't get the food near your molars. I got food back there and tried to clean it out since I thought the incisions were healed enough... that's what started my problem. I was fine right after and up to like 2 days after the surgery, but then I got dry socket and everything went to hell. Just listen to everything your dentist/oral surgeon tells you to do and you should be good.

my bro also had his gums cut into.. he was out for a full day.. and messed up for 2 more days after that.. i never had mine removed.. tops came in fine but my bottoms are crooked.. they'll need to go.
I had to get knocked out for mine... my surgery was at like 9 am... I vaugly remember being slightly awake afterwards, swearing up a storm and making obscene comments... then I woke up at 5:30 the next morning for 20 mins, puking and bleeding and more swearing, then I woke up 10 hours later with what felt like the worlds biggest hangover...
turns out I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia when the put me under...
couldnt eat anything for 3 days, felt like crap for a week... watching tv and playing FPS shooters made me dizzy for a few days too
but again, I had a terrible reaction...
