Haha, totally relatable...I once googled myself into a panic after my extraction. You're definitely not alone in the rinse paranoia—been there, rinsed that. Glad you're feeling better now!

Haha, the Google rabbit hole after dental procedures is way too real. I remember after my implant surgery, I spent hours reading horror stories online—big mistake. Honestly, recovery was smoother than I expected, but patience was definitely key. Did anyone else find that their recovery timeline was way different from what they anticipated? Mine seemed shorter in some ways, but longer in others...funny how healing works.

Haha, totally relate to this! After my braces came off and I had a tooth extraction for implants, I was bracing myself (pun intended) for weeks of misery. Turned out the initial pain faded pretty quickly, but the waiting game for full healing felt like forever. Did you find yourself constantly checking progress in the mirror too? Glad your recovery went smoothly overall—it's always nice when reality beats Google horror stories.

Haha, I remember that mirror-checking phase way too well...my kid had an extraction and implant done last year, and I swear we both spent more time staring at his gums than watching Netflix. Weirdly enough, the swelling and pain were gone pretty fast, but the bone healing part dragged on forever. Google definitely didn't help—every search made me think something was horribly wrong. Glad to hear your recovery wasn't too rough either.

Haha, Google is the worst dentist ever... I swear it convinced me I had some rare gum disease after my extraction. Turned out, just needed patience and less late-night doom scrolling. Glad your kid's doing better!
