Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me when my face was going to go back to normal after being swollen from having my wisdom teeth taken out last week. My face is back to normal. FML
Today, I had to get three teeth pulled. That would've been fine if they were all on the same side of my mouth. Nope, two were on the upper left and one on the bottom right. I kept thinking my upper lip was gauze it was so numb, and I kept drooling like a baby. I've barely been able to eat as it's so sore. FML
Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML
Today, I woke up from my wisdom tooth surgery… while they were still sawing my jaw. I had such a bad panic response that they also cut my lip, so I have stitches inside and outside of my mouth, as well as the haunting crackle of bone being removed from my skull stuck in my head. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML
Today, the gums around my wisdom teeth are so badly swollen that I can't talk. I called a dentist to find out if I could see them for a removal. They told me to contact a surgeon, or go to the hospital emergency room. I have no insurance. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. The surgeon took a better X-ray to see what he was dealing with before he got started. When he came back into the room, he started to laugh and told me it was my lucky day because in the X-rays he found 2 big extra wisdom teeth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I had my bottom two taken out during summer, looked like I had a golf ball in each cheek and I was bed-ridden for four days, couldn't do anything for the following week, lived on mashed potatoes and ice cream for about ten days and my beach trip sucked because of it. My brother got all four of his removed last week, has no swelling AT ALL, is going out and walking around the house, and can eat anything almost he wants because he is feeling no discomfort whatsoever. Lucky bastard.

When you are having 3rd molar extractions, it depends a lot on how difficult the extractions were. If you had the molars deeply embedded in the jawbone, it is a lot more difficult to the dentist to remove and thus you will have more swelling and complications afterwards.

^^^^ TMI - Yeah, that was most likely the reason. The first one went out relatively easy. The second one, though. The surgeon said, "Hmm, this one's going to be hard to get out," and had to extend the incision, it went past the sedated area in my mouth so it stung quite a bit. I started crying and had a panic attack on the chair, lmao. The stitches made it difficult for me to open my mouth more than half an inch the first few days, and that sucked too. This just makes me even more jealous of my brother, lmao.

FYL, that really sucks. Hopefully you won't look like that for too long, but I'm sure it doesn't look too bad though ^.^

i hear you. i had all 4 done at once, because insurance only pays anesthesia once (i know, right). At least you can eat solid food on one side. Don't worry, the swelling is transient. Take some ibuprofen or something.

FYL hope the swelling heals quickly ^.^
