Yeah, if the helper isn't very attentive, blood can pool in your mouth. Also depends on how your teeth are fused with your jaw as well, I know some other people had the roots of their teeth start to wrap around their jaws necessitating more invasive surgery, but mine were pullable, so in went the pliers.

No solid food afterwards either, so I wound up drinking meals in a can and making sure the cotton swabs weren't soaked too much and changing them out afterwards.

Also depending on your gums/healing rate, you may or may not get stitches. I didn't have to get stitches so there's that as well. I forgot if it was a week or more before I could get solid food again.
