21. So I hear. It's hard, since I'm accustomed to using straws every day.
The oral surgeon impressed the importance of it to me when he showed me my x-ray. He pointed out that because of how they were impacted, my lower sockets plunge perilously deep, to the bone, almost in contact with the nerve. If the clots were to be dislodged, I'd be in a world of hurt.
