OH my! So good to see everyone. RC, it's just great that you're sounding so good, so upbeat, beautiful girl! I'm proud of you.
Sun, hope you're feeling better using the magic oil. We all owe thanks to RC for that tip, don't we?
Rog, I've crossed my heart for you.
Melissa, safe travels, love.
Foam, fabulous to see you here, you funny one! My dentist is a dear friend, and I told her I hate that I occasionally hate her so much!
Grateful, you are so gentle and caring you break my heart. There has to be some little wicked bad part of you that you can unleash sometimes, isn't there? Sometimes pitching a good old-fashioned hissy fit just unburdens us a bit.
Nora, dear. I so understand the pressure cooker feeling. This will pass. Try to find one time a day just for you, even 10 minutes. I'm so sorry about your FIL. We live in fear of that too. I do recommend some kind of alert, but look for the ones that go off automatically in a fall, in case they are unconscious. (((hug)))

Morning Melissa-safe travels girl. Thanks for your thoughts. xo
Morning Nora--you have so much going on too. I hope son is moving on good terms as hard as it is--it is good for him to spread his wings. You've given me an idea to suggest for my Dad--some kind of alarm. He has his "girlfriend" and they check on each other regularly but she is not always around.
FF I was reminded of biting a dentist when I was 7--his knee jerk reaction was to slap my face! Never been to a dentist since. jk

Broth, FF. And don't use a straw, or smoke.
Whenever any surgery / Tooth extraction takes place the first thing we want is to let it heal properly ,quickly and smoothly. As a common practice, most of the dental surgeons have standard post surgery instructions printed which are handed over to the patient. One must follow these instructions given by the dentist. Apart from those instructions there are few things which need to be taken care post extraction.

Try to take some rest. You may feel great but don’t exercise at least for a day.When taking rest,keep your head lifted on a pillow.

Let the clot be formed on the tooth extracted site , which covers it and allow it to heal. Bite on the gauze piece, which the dentist has put on the extraction socket, minimum for an hour. Don’t chew on that gauze piece but put a steady pressure. This will help in stopping the bleeding and formation of clot which acts like a cork on the bottle. Change gauze after every half an hour depending on the amount of bleeding. If clot is dislodged,the nerve endings are exposed,nerves and capillaries spasm and constrict,limiting essential blood supply which causes delay in healing. If the bleeding doesn't stop one should try putting a wet tea bag in the site, as tannic acid present in black tea helps stop bleeding.

Don’t spit minimum for 24 hours because it can dislodge the clot. If the clot is dislodged you can have very painful condition known as dry socket. Afterwards one should spit 3-4 times in a day so that no food is lodged near the area where the tooth is removed. Dentist may advice CHLOROHEXIDINE mouth rinses as they kill bacteria.

Don’t smoke for 48 hours. The chemicals in the smoke can effect the clot and hence the chances of developing dry socket.
Don’t take solids till the numbness is there. When you start feeling your jaws you can start taking solids.

Take your medicines as prescribed by your dentist. Don’t skip the medicines. If antibiotics are given they should be taken regularly. Pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs help in reducing the pain and swelling. If the pain continues even after two days and bleeding starts then you should call your dentist.

Avoid Sucking of any type - SMOKING, SIPPING, EATING HARD VEGETABLES. Try taking soft and liquid food options such as soups, mashed potatoes, yogurts, milkshakes, smoothies etc. Avoid hot drinks, spicy foods, sodas, etc.

If you are daring enough to avoid these instructions, you may be a strong contender for some complications.

WHAT COMPLICATIONS CAN BE THERE AFTER EXTRACTION?
Bleeding
Infection
Dry socket
Jaw fracture
Sinus perforation
Broken Bone Fragments (Sequestrii)
Part of the Tooth Left (Retained Roots)
Osteonecrosis

I've had dry socket, more than once. It's worse than a toothache!

Good Lord Ruby--you done skared him away! It was only a filling replacement. Not major life and death surgery.
