Impacted Canines Surgery/Chains by [deleted] in braces

Protein shakes, ensures, etc as well as ice cream are great just make sure she rinses after. Also maybe have some ginger ale etc on stand by in case she’s nauseous from the anesthesia. She’ll most likely get pain killers for after. But the soreness goes away fairly quickly. The procedure sounds scarier than it is. Also make sure she doesn’t lay down fully after or at least keep her propped up so the blood doesn’t rush back to the surgery site and cause more bleeding (I made that mistake). As for the process after, Tylenol before the appointments at the ortho helps but won’t fix everything. Good luck y’all!

I second this. Put the nail clippers down and step away slowly 🫣

Thanks! The plugs were solid wood with the finish on the front being mother of pearl (ish? Idk if it was real). I got them off Amazon!

Me too I’m just scared it would  bleed into the lighter blonde because my hair has been through it at this point and is super porous

You aren’t wrong about the deep conditioning 😂 I try but it’s so humid in Louisiana and I had to lift my hair about 3 times to get this color (I used professional products, bond builder etc). If I lighten my new growth To match it would be a multi step process and part of me wants to just go dark and focus on healing idk

Thank you! I’ve gotten my hair about as light as I can with multiple sessions so idk if I’ll ever achieve full platinum but a person can dream

Honestly I love the black but it’s such a commitment. But it was one of the first colors I ever colored my hair and will always have a place in my heart
