I just got one of my molars pulled, after intense pain and infection, and I'm relieved. However, now I'm worried about the possibility of dry socket, even if its temporary. The paper I got says I should smoke, drink alcohol, or suck through a straw, all of which I already don't do. Is there anything else I should be worrying about to keep it from happening? Also, should I just let the extraction site bleed when I run out of gauze? Spit? Swallow?
