Good to hear you had a positive experience with your oral surgery. Mine was the old-fashioned experience after the removal of 3 impacted wisdom teeth: squirrel jowls under ice packs; 3 square meals of jello, jello and more jello, with the occasional herbal tea or clear broth for good measure; not being able to feel my face and laid up in bed for a few days. Not fun, and definitely not pretty.
Later in life, I had to have a couple of teeth removed to make space for the teeth that would be realigned by braces. Recovery time was shorter and the experience more positive.
I remember having to worry about disturbing the blood clot (yeesh). When my daughter recently had her impacted wisdom teeth removed, she had absolutely no problem with the procedure, clotting or recovery. Things have changed quite a bit in 25 years, so I'm not surprised that her experience was so much better.
But, there were no cheeseburgers for either of us, lol!
