About extractions?
well i got braces a week ago and im getting four teeth extracted, but the next day i gotta go and take a picture for my learners permit, i wanted to know if you swell up the day after the extractions or will i be okay? help!
Answers:
Definitely go with ice, 20mins on, 20 mins off for the first couple of hours afterward. You'll be numb so I wouldn't worry about discomfort too much. The amount of swelling wil rely on how hard the teeth are to remove. If you're talking about premolars/bicuspids I wouldn't sweat it because they won't be difficult ro remove like impacted wisdom teeth or unerupted teeth. Even then, swelling depends on how hard it is to extract the teeth and it's only a learner's permit photo....
