Getting your wisdom teeth out is the worst thing ever, especially if you get dry sockets. There are many reasons, it hurts like heck, you can't eat good food, the dry sockets taste like crap and it ruins the taste of everything you actually can eat, and then when you return to school you have a bunch of make up work that you have to do. The absolute worst is the dry socket stuff that tastes like crap and the pain whenever you eat.

So after having your wisdom teeth taken out you go back about a week later to get your stitches taken out which hurts like sin. Then they tell you that because they had to drill so deep into your bone your mouth where the teeth were taken out is infected, sorry. Then they pack the holes with sick tasting gauze, and everything you eat now not only hurts but tastes like poo.

The whole joy in eating is taken away. First you just don't eat, then you get so hungry you have to and even moving your jaw hurts let alone chewing. Then you try taking your drugs they gave you and the pain relief is not even noticeable. I don't know why but I can never even feel a difference after I take the pain medication.

So at all costs don't do it during the school year when you have to do stuff. Do it during the summer when you can sleep and eat icecream all day long.
