Chad
My husband is awesome. I know every wife thinks that about her husband, but I am so grateful for mine. He is going to school full time as a gradate student in social work. This requires a lot of reading time and doing papers. On top of that he has to do 20 hours of practicum per week. Oh yea, he also has to work enough hours to pay the bills. I am very blessed to have such a hard working provider. With such a tight schedule, it is difficult for him to go to the dentist or doctor on a regular basis. We finally got him into the dentist last week. He has 4 cavities and gingivitis. I learned that you can get gingivitis by brushing too hard (who knew!) 2 of his cavities are on his wisdom teeth. The dentist recommended just taking them out due to the difficult nature of keeping them clean. So, Chad gets a break from school from the second week of April until the second week of May. On May 1st he will be sedated and have 2 cavities filled and his wisdom teeth pulled. Oh yea, his birthday is May 15, so happy birthday to him. I feel so bad that he has to go through this. We are hoping that he body reacts okay to the sedation and he can go back to work soon after the surgery. I have promised him all the Oreo shakes he could possibly want though. On a positive note, we have awesome dental insurance, so the medical bills won't be too bad. Does anyone have any great ideas for what to fix someone who has had their wisdom teeth out?

Well I had mine out and since you aren't eating normally the first while you could try ensure or carnation instant breakfast so he gets vitamins.
Slurpee
More Slurpee
Still more Slurpee
I recommend banana flavor
Nothing with straws the first few days, because the suction is bad after having mouth surgery.
But please spoon in all the Frosty's, milkshakes and smoothies the poor man can take!
P.S. Are they the lower wisdom teeth?
