I was supposed to not smoke for 3 days. I made it an hour. The Wife shot gunned smoke into my mouth, as my reading said that the reason it's bad, is the suction part. A vape doesn't make you hit it very hard though, so that may not be a huge problem. They said I couldn't even use a straw... I admit, smoking through my nose to avoid the mouth isn't a proud moment, but, I've got plenty of moments I'm not proud of, so, at the end of the day, you can decide what's right for you. I didn't listen though, I just read the reasons and tried to circumvent those, which, worked out fine.
The pain.... LOL, they might as well have said "Here's a hammer and some moonshine, knock yourself out so you can sleep" cause the first day was rough. I had more than one sitting. The first one, the insurance wouldn't pay for me to be sleeping, so I was wide awake as numbed.... I'll be honest here, I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. The pressure feelings in the mouth, and the crunch noises as they yank out broken chunks of tooth.... The whole thing was like a fucking horror movie.
Ended up being knocked out for the other one. Poor bastard Dental Surgeon..... Had to knock ME out at a time I was coming off of hard drugs. I was still holding a conversation down when he finally said "Wait, how are you even conscious right now???" LOL. They gave me two more shots and finally I was out.
Get it done though.... I was in Canada without insurance one time, and the infected bumps in my mouth were so bad I used a serrated steak knife I cleaned with Alcohol and Peroxide, and slice the thing open on my gum.... I looked like an extra from a Zombie movie as the blood and puss went spraying ALL over my ex's bathroom mirror. Felt better after but MAN that wasn't fun... The huge bumps of nasty would pop up all the time, and generally there was nothing I could do about it but get really high and do surgery on myself. I didn't realize I could have probably gotten a scalpel, so I ended up using serrated knives, because you could slice sideways and open those things up. I don't recommend this at all.
got a funny look on the face of the Dental Surgeon though haha; he's like "Wait you did what ?!?!?" and I explained exactly what I did, all the way down to which knife, and my reason why, and how I cleaned it before I started, and he's like "Well...At least you did it right...." haha.
And yeah, after a few years, I still hate them LOL.
