If you’re dealing with increasing discomfort a few days after an extraction, you’re not alone. Many patients worry something went wrong.

But what if we told you that one beloved treat—chocolate—might have some surprising benefits? Before you reach for a candy bar, it’s important to know that not all chocolate is created equal. New research suggests that the right kind of cocoa could actually be a friend to your smile and your overall health.
