Cause im getting my teeth extracted on the 26 of aug. and i start school on the 29! i dont want to have a swollen face! ahhhh help! oh btw im 13 yrs old!

Answer 1

i only got two teeth extracted and it did hurt.  my mouth was swollen for two days, but yours might be swollen longer because you are getting four teeth removed. GL

Answer 2

omg

dats cool

im 13 too

i just got 2 teeth pulled out

and im getting 2 more out in just a few days

the shots hurt a little

but while they pulled it out it didnt hurt

itll bleed ALOT for a few days

but you will be fine :]

Answer 3

Ask to put some numbing gel before the shot or bring along a tube or oragel and apply 10 minutes prior to shot. It is not that bad, I had it without gel it's like a sting lasts a second.

It isnt' painful but expect to feel pulling. Your face may swell but it can be prevented if you keep ice on the area.

Answer 4

You don't have anything to worry about or stress over. I went through the same procedure at a younger age than you (but this was when I was still in school). When they numb your mouth, sometimes face, you can still feel the slightness of their work, but it won't hurt as much as if you never had the shot at all. Your face won't swell like a plumb unless you have some sort of allergic reaction to the shot. For the most part, if it does swell, the time between your operation and the time you go to school should be enough time to recover. All else, one day or so is enough for you to get back to normal, but it will take some time to get used to missing teeth.

Best wishes

Answer 5

ok well im 13 to and i had 2 of my teeth extracted but before they give you the shots they put this numing stuff on your gums so you dont really feel the shot justlike a little pressure and then they ill take like a little saw thing and that totally freaked me oout and you hear them sawing through your teeth so i would suggest that you take like you ipod or something just to block out that sound but after all that your lip will be a little swollen but the very next day i went to school so it only last a couple hours but you cant talk right cause your all num and it will be weird eating but it doesnt hurt at all and they give you the teeth they pulled out so thats kindof cool.

hope i help
