Hey can you please write where Lars has to take care of y/n after they get an either a tooth extracted or their wisdom teeth taken out.

Please and thank you

I hope you like this one.

“Lars!”

You flung your arms around your favourite person in the whole wide world, not caring that he stiffened, both arms pinned to his sides. You blinked up at him, expectant smile on your face, ignoring the sting you were only vaguely aware of. Right on the outskirt of your perception, something in your mouth pulled, a throbbing that was new and uncomfortable.

“Let’s get you home,” he said, still caught up tight in your embrace.

“Home,” you groaned, “I like home.”

“I know. That’s why I’m going to take you there.”

“You’re coming with me?”

You weren’t sure you’d ever felt such joy as having Lars in your home.

“Just like we agreed,” he said.

He disentangled himself from your hold, ignored your pout as he slipped an arm around your waist, guiding you out the door. You were gazing up at him, caught up in the way sunlight seemed to play over his skin and in his hair. Your heart ached from how beautiful he was.

“Do you know how pretty you are?” you asked, feet clumsy as he guided you across the parking lot.

“Well, I, uh, thank you,’ he said, not quite looking at you. You wished he would. He had such pretty blue eyes.

You were leaning into him, enjoying the way the long lines of his body felt against yours. He was holding you up, fumbling for the door of his old car. You loved that car. Inside it smelt of years gone by, like sunlight and dust and electricity. Chasing storms and chasing dreams. You loved it, more than words could ever express.

He deposited you in the front seat, doing his best to avoid your grasping hands. You wanted to pull him closer and tell him exactly how much you loved his car. To whisper in his ear so no one would hear.

He played your hands in your lap, bent over as he settled you, pulling the seatbelt over your chest and securing it in place. You lent forward, kissing his cheek, feeling the stubble threatening to emerge scratch against your lips.

You ached when you smiled up at his wide eyed expression.

He shut the door on you, hurrying around the back of the car to slide into the driver’s seat. you turned in your seat, head resting against the head rest, watching him closely. He moved fluidly, so much more graceful than you. You reached out, hand knocking his as he changed gear on the car. His eyebrow quirked when he looked at you and you were slow to reach up, tracing the length of his eyebrow. He caught your hand, lowering it back into your lap.

You dragged your eyes away from him, watching as a bicycle stopped beside the car at a red traffic light, keeping your pout to yourself. And yet you heard when he chuckled, indignation rushing through you.

“You’re mean,” you said.

“I’m trying to get you home safe and sound,” he replied, not denying it.

You hunkered down in your seat, refusing to look at him, arms crossed over your chest like a petulant child. He kept to his side of the car and you refused to reach out to him. He didn’t deserve your attention if he was going to be so mean to you.

The car came to an abrupt stop, pulling up on the street outside your apartment building. Struggling with the seatbelt, you tried to leave the car without Lars, not needing his help when he was going to be acting so mean to you. He pulled the door open for you anyway, helping you get out of the seatbelt, an arm still wound around your waist.

He was so warm and so comfortable and you could just burrow into him if he let you. He never let you.

“Okay, stairs,” he said looking at them in the entrance hall, “no lift?”

“It’s broken,” you replied, “it’s always broken.”

He sighed but didn’t falter as he made for the stairs with you. You dragged your heels, too tired to consider climbing four flights of stairs. He sighed again, swinging you up into his arms before you could protest. He was so strong. Sometimes you forgot when all you did was sit in a lab and talk about science all day. He should do this more often. You liked how strong he was. Nice strong arms that could hold you easily.

You rested your head against his shoulder. He always smelt so good, like soap and aftershave and something that was only ever around when Lars was. You pressed your face into his neck, listening to him breathe as he climbed.

“Alright, where’s your key, love?” he asked.

He was slow to put you down, your knees unsteady, like they’d turned to jelly. You rummaged in your bag, finding all kinds of things you didn’t need like bobby pins and lipstick and some mints. None of it was your keys. You dug deeper, fingers scrabbling for the cold metal you knew you’d thrown in there when Lars had picked you up earlier.

His hand steadied your as you inserted the key, guiding it into the keyhole. His hand was so warm, skin brushing skin and a steadying force when you felt so weak. Your tiny apartment was the same as always, a bit messy and very lived in and one of your favourite places in the world. You fell onto your couch, secondhand and overstuffed, comfortable beyond comfort.

“Are you hungry?” Lars asked, shutting the door to keep the rest of the world out, “thirsty?”

There was still an ache in your mouth but a more insistent one in your stomach. Your throat felt scratchy and you hadn’t realised how much the thought of food would make you salivate.

“Yes,” you replied, nodding, considering getting up.

“To which one?” he asked.

“Both,” you said.

He left you there, taking the three steps it took to get to your kitchen. You turned, pushing up for your arms to rest along the back of the couch, chin resting on top as you watched him. He knew your home well enough to be able to begin making something. Fruit and milk and yoghurt and a blender.

“You’re not allowed to have food that needs chewing,” he said.

He passed the glass over to you. It was so cold, like a block of ice in your hands, and you brought it closer to your chest. You looked down into the slightly pink drink and felt tears prickle at the corner of your eyes.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“You’re so nice to me,” you said.

He took a seat beside you, the sofa cushions dipping until you felt your body tip towards him. He caught your glass before the smoothie could tip out onto you. He passed it back to you once you’d stopped moving. Taking a sip from it you hummed, going back for another one.

“This is the best thing I’ve ever tasted,” you said, licking the froth from your top lip.

“It’s not that good,” he said but you could see the way his lips quirked up into a small smile.

‘Seriously. You’re like a genius. A proper genius. How’d you get so smart?” you asked, shuffling even closer, until your thigh was pressed against his.

“Just lucky, I suppose,” he said, “finish your drink.”

You did as you were told, both hands holding onto the glass. You drank deeply, your empty stomach aching with need. It was like you’d been emptied out, a hollow vessel for smoothies. He took the glass from you when it was empty, setting it down on the floor beside his feet.

“Do you want another one?”

You nodded. He paused, looking down at you and you found yourself leaning into him. He was warm, shoulder encased in a soft sweater beneath your cheek. You brushed against it, enjoying the sensation against your skin.

“Come on, love. You have to let me get up if I’m going to make you another one.”

It was with reluctance that you let him get up again. He took your glass and you listened to the blender again. You lay back on the couch, curling up as you waited, trying to be patient. His fingers stroked over your hair as he passed you the glass again. You sat up, bringing it to your lips.

“Do you need anything for the pain?” he asked.

You shook your head, chugging the smoothie. When you put it down, he immediately picked it back up, taking it into the kitchen. Sitting beside you, you curled up against him again, not able to stop yourself when he was right there.

“Can we watch Bridget Jones?” you asked.

“Whatever you want,” he said.

He jostled you for a moment, grabbing the remote for your old tv, getting the movie playing. He reached for the blanket on the back of the couch, draping it over you. You spread it over his lap too, curling against his side. His arm draped around you, warming you up from the inside out.

Somewhere between the tarts and vicar party and the cheating scandal, your eyes slipped closed. He was so warm and comfortable and all the good things in life. It was easy to relax until you were melting into him.

So when you woke up some time in the middle of the night, draped over his chest, slowly rising and falling with each breath, the blanket curled around you, all you did was snuggle closer to your nurse.

Understanding Wisdom Teeth Removal: Everything You Need to Know

What Are Wisdom Teeth and Why Do We Have Them?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of molars that typically emerge during your late teens or early twenties. They were essential for our ancestors, who needed extra chewing power to process their diet of roots, nuts, and raw meat. However, modern diets and smaller jaw sizes often leave little room for these late arrivals, causing various dental issues.

Signs You May Need Wisdom Teeth Removal

Some common signs that indicate it might be time to consider wisdom teeth removal include:

Persistent pain: Ongoing discomfort at the back of your mouth.

Swollen gums: Gums around the wisdom teeth may become red and inflamed.

Difficulty opening your mouth: Stiffness or soreness when chewing.

Bad breath: Caused by food trapped around the partially erupted teeth.

Shifting teeth alignment: Crowding or misalignment of other teeth due to lack of space.

If you notice these symptoms, consult a dental professional for evaluation.

Unique Challenges Associated with Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal can pose specific challenges depending on individual cases:

Impacted Wisdom Teeth: These teeth may not fully erupt, becoming trapped under the gums or against other teeth.

Infection Risk: Partially erupted teeth can create pockets where bacteria thrive.

Complex Roots: Some wisdom teeth have roots that are curved or extend near nerves, requiring specialized surgical techniques.

Fear of Surgery: Many people feel anxious about undergoing oral surgery, even if it’s routine.

Understanding these challenges can help alleviate concerns and encourage proactive care.

The Step-by-Step Guide to Wisdom Teeth Removal

Here’s what you can expect during the wisdom teeth removal process:

1. Initial Consultation

Your dentist or oral surgeon will:

Conduct X-rays to assess the position of your wisdom teeth.

Discuss your symptoms and recommend the best course of action.

Provide a cost estimate and explain the procedure in detail.

2. Preparation for Surgery

Anesthesia Options: You may receive local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia based on the complexity of the extraction and your comfort level.

Pre-Surgery Instructions: Avoid eating or drinking for a specific time before the procedure if general anesthesia is used.

3. The Procedure

Numbing: The oral surgeon administers anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.

Extraction: The surgeon may make a small incision in the gums, remove bone blocking the tooth, and extract the wisdom tooth. For impacted teeth, the tooth might be divided into sections for easier removal.

Stitches: In some cases, stitches are applied to help the gums heal.

4. Recovery Process

First 24 Hours: Use gauze pads to control bleeding and apply an ice pack to reduce swelling.

Pain Management: Take prescribed pain relievers and avoid strenuous activity.

Diet: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and soups.

Aftercare: Keep the area clean by rinsing gently with salt water and avoiding straws to prevent dry sockets.

Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Always Necessary?

How Long Does Recovery Take?

The field is known for its integration of aesthetics and functionality, helping patients regain confidence and normalcy.

Common Conditions Treated by Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

One of the most common oral surgeries is the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. These teeth can cause pain, infections, and misalignment of other teeth if not addressed promptly.

Jaw Surgery

Corrective jaw surgeries help align the jawbones to improve chewing, speaking, and even breathing. Conditions like underbite or overbite are commonly treated through orthognathic surgery.

Facial Trauma

Accidents or injuries that result in fractures of the facial bones require immediate attention. Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons are equipped to treat these injuries and restore facial aesthetics and functionality.

Dental Implants

This surgery involves placing artificial tooth roots to replace missing teeth. It is a long-term solution for restoring dental function and enhancing the appearance of the smile.

TMJ Disorders

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can develop disorders causing pain, difficulty in movement, and even headaches. Surgical intervention may be required in severe cases.

Benefits of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery

Enhanced Aesthetics

Whether it’s correcting facial asymmetry or restoring a damaged smile, Oral Maxillofacial Surgery significantly improves aesthetics.

Improved Functionality

Surgeries such as jaw realignment or dental implants help patients regain proper chewing, speaking, and breathing abilities.
