When I had mine done, I had to pack the back of my mouth with gauze "until it stops bleeding." They told me it would probably stop by the time I got home. The problem was, it didn't stop for the next 8 hours. My mom was freaking out that I hadn't eaten in 18 hours and was taking heavy drugs, so she made me drink a milkshake around the gauze. That was...interesting. And soggy.
