Answer 1

the puffy felling is probably all the Novocaine, when i got mine pulled that went away later that night, but the pain and not being able to eat took me about a week and a half

Answer 2

My orthodontist told me to ice and heat my face just got mine out august 19th '08 and I haD one who was said to be the best in Maine

Answer 3

The swelling should go down within about two days. Strongly recommend you phone your dentist and discuss. You should also have been given a prescription for pain killers.

I think it depends a lot on how many you had pulled at the same time. Hang in there and good luck !

Answer 4

mine took about 5-7 days. it just depends on the person really. everyone is different. your surgeon should have told you for how to treat your face if it does get swollen. mine told me not to ice it, and to put heat on it. just be careful in the way you go about trying to heal it.
