Mischa Barton Suffers From A ‘Dry Socket’
TIRED and emotional star Mischa Barton has blamed her summer slurring and hospitalisation in a psychiatric ward on her wisdom teeth, or more specifically, her lack of them.
Mischa calls it a “perfect storm”, picking up on a phrase that has gathered momentum in recent times:
A perfect storm can be used to describe anything: breathing; sports; women; apocalypse; traffic but not weather:
Meteorologists Say ‘Perfect Storm’ Not So Perfect
Barton goes on:
She was “overwhelmed”.
She had had surgery on her wisdom that “went really badly. I had been in the hospital. I had two surgeries on my teeth. I had four taken out. And they’d gotten it really badly wrong. They had to drill into my jaw and I was just in excruciating pain. I had an infection and a dry socket.”
A dry socket sounds bad. A wet socket sounds worse.

And that’s what happens when you have your wisdom teeth out in America and… Mischa took the minimum amount of pain killers, and was subjected to Novocaine shots every day and her socket grew moist and…

And watch out for Amy Winehouse having more wisdom teeth than Solomon the Shark.

What is really bad is when a Dentist doesn’t warn a smoker not to smoke after an extraction until it is healed, as smoking is all most a guarantee a dry socket will occur!

Anyone who has had a dry socket after a tooth extraction, least of all four extractions that she had, can attest to the raving manic one turns into with the extreme pain.
