Ouch! When I had mine out in high school I had a really hard time with it… But, I my doctor did give me one tip, and I found that it helped me a ton with bleeding afterward and with pain. He advised me to drink lots of herbal tea with berries in it. But not too hot. And that after the tea bag had saturated the water, to actually put it in my mouth, and like kinda chew on it where the teeth had been removed. No idea why it helped so much, but it did! Something about the natural content of the berries. Hope you get to be pain free though! And I hope that helps if you run into any trouble. Good luck! How did you like Twilight?
