My Daughter had hers pulled two days before Thanksgiving...we put the turkey
and gravy and mashed potatoes in a blender ... All of my kids were knocked
out to have their wisdom teeth pulled.
Years ago I had an abscessed tooth pulled (I couldn't afford a root canal)
when the Dr started putting the stitches in he asked me if I had Diabetes
....I asked why , he said my gums were real spongy and he only saw those kind
of gums in Diabetics. This was in 1976....I was diagnosed in 94-95
