Default Re: OT: Narf has no more wisdom...Teeth. Owie Owie

Over the past month, I've had a total of six teeth pulled. My dentist told me that if the bleeding didn't stop within three hours, I should try wrapping a teabag in gauze, then wetting it and packing it against the gum. The tannic acid in the tea is supposed to help stop the bleeding.

(I'm not sure how much it helped, though. I didn't stop bleeding either time until sometime after I went to bed that night.)
