If you drink shakes, don't use a straw. This is important. Trust me.

(dry sockets are NOT fun)

I was about that age when I had mine removed, and really didn't notice the down time. I felt too bad to care about much of anything else the first couple of days. I did enjoy my strawberry shakes, with strawberry ice cream. And scalloped potatoes, nice and soft and cheesey. After about a week, I was feeling back to normal, and was riding and running again.

oh to be young and recover quickly again. sigh.

You'll be fine. Have someone drive you home after your surgery.
