Scabs are coming off

Hey everyone, I’m on day 8 now, and things are starting to improve. I checked my mouth for the first time in two days and noticed pink skin showing. The scabs are beginning to come off. I did speed up the process a bit by removing some of the larger scabs that were just sitting there, which made it look cleaner, but it didn’t make much of a difference overall. The pain has definitely peaked though—it’s hard to open my mouth without discomfort, and talking is still uncomfortable. Mornings have been rough, but I got a humidifier last night, which helped me sleep through the night without waking up from dry mouth or severe soreness. Hopefully, the bad breath goes away soon too, lol—it’s really the main reason I got them removed!
