That reminds me of how I got my wisdom teeth removed and as I woke up from the anesthesia, the dentists were stuffing gauze in and I had no idea what was going on and started gagging on it. I dislocated my jaw. So they put it back into place and tried again and I gagged again and dislocated it a second time. They seemed to be yelling at me to stop. After that second time, they gave up on the gauze. The gauze was probably meant to prevent dry socket which could explain why healing was a nightmare.

But yeah. As for watching kids running with suckers in their mouths, I can't stand that either.
