How long should it take to heal? and is there any tricks to making it feel better? Sorry i know the surgeon could answer all these questions but i havent even met them yet and im not even gonna see them until the day of the surgery.

Replies kaylalynn2008 Posted at 11:22 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 you'll be extremely numb in your mouth when you wake up.. careful, drinking water is really hard to do when you can't control half your face haha. umm... eat something cold an hour after (that's when you'll be pretty sore, and you're allowed to eat)... careful on the meds they give you, no driving, etc. etc. i was back out on the farm 2 days after i had mine out, so don't worry too much! :] kAnToMiMe Posted at 11:19 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 lucky. i need mine taken out but i cant till the first of the year cuz its gonna cost like 500 bucks.
