Holey molar.

What everyone neglected to tell me is that after you get your wisdom teeth out, there are little holes in your gums. Holes in which tiny pieces of sushi can lodge themselves and rot for half a week and make your mouth taste and smell like a tiny corpse is decaying next to your molar. It was honestly like having a mini septic tank constantly leaking into my mouth. As someone who is very meticulous about hygiene and always smells fresh and clean, this was completely unacceptable. I did everything I could: I rinsed and rinsed like a crazy person, I poured hydrogen peroxide down my throat, I drank arsenic - nothing helped. So finally the oral surgery office gave me a squirty syringe thing so that I could really clean things out, and I egregiously abused it and let my OCD get the best of me, rinsing at least 50 times. So now I no longer have a horrible tasting mouth but instead have a constant, debilitating toothache that is almost certainly a direct result of my violent syringe misuse. This is more fun than I know what to do with.
