All 4 wisdom teeth are being removed...?!


Question: All 4 wisdom teeth are being removed...?
Tomorrow morning (Friday) Im getting all four of my wisdom teeth surgically removed. I HAVE to go back to school on Monday, and Im worried about how much my face will swell up. What really sucks is that my cheeks are already slightly large and I really don't want to look like a chipmunk for a week. What's the best way to keep the swelling down, and how long does it normally last?

Answers:

I've seen people who were out eating pizza the night after, and people who stayed swollen for a week like me, especially since I also had a bone graft. It really depends on what your own body is like. If you tend to be sensitive to things, injure easily and take a long time to heal it's safe to assume you will have swelling and bruising. The best you can do is keep taking your meds to keep the swelling down and don't try to force the healing or it can take longer. Also, lots of teens go through that! Your classmates will understand.



Ice works to keep the swelling down for a bit but it will last about a week. I have had 6 wisdom teeth removed but thankfully it was during the summer and I didnt have to go to school looking like I had pillows in my mouth.



You're guna look like a chipmunk for about 5 days



It usually last the first and 2nd day. Good luck. you won't feel a thing. Just be careful when you chew.



there is no way. try icing it tho. and take your meds. probably a week
