First I will post two pictures of me without the tooth, but it won’t be gross: the gums will be barely visible and not icky. Then after that I will post a closer picture of just my mouth, so you can see what the extraction site looks like two days after surgery—but not TOO close up.

Now a closer picture. The day of/after, it looked more red/raw/inflamed/torn. Now there is a yellowish scab with a bit of surgical thread poking out of it.
