Image Canines Exposure


Image "Chipmunk face" (Day 4 after surgery-wisdom tooth)


Here's a couple of pics. The first one you can see my "bling bling". And the second one, it's obvious to see the resemblence I have to a chipmunk.

Oh yeah, I remember that. Here's my own "chipmunk cheek" if it makes you feel any better: Image

I had a blood clot in one cheek... thats why that one side was so much worse. It eventually went away, but took much longer than the other.

That same cheek at 8 days: Image

Feel better now? :D

KK,

Yeah, I can't wait 'til they finally shine through-it will be a happy day for me-can't wait! And I agree with you-that will be like giving birth again, for real! Instead of two children, I'll be a new mother of 4! (heehee) I'm sure one will come down sooner than the other, since one is so much closer (right side). I wonder how long it will take? Any ideas?

Fyrelight,

Wow! You were much worse than me! No thought! It looks like you were in a bar fight or something! ( :wink: ) My swelling is noticeably deminishing. Finally this morning (day 5) I can tell the swelling is down a bit, and I can open my mouth almost all the way now. I still talk with a very noticeable lisp, which is very embarrasing! And I might as well get used to it, as I'm sure that it will stick around for a while, since it's due to the missing teeth.

Question: How long did it take for your "babies" to be born? Oh, and was that swelling due to your canines exposures? Or did you get the other teeth removed/extracted as well? I guess I'm trying to figure out if the swelling is due to the canine exposures or just the wisdom tooth I had removed as well.

I had my wisdoms done at a different time than the exposures.. the swelling is ALL wisdoms! I don't think I really swelled up much with the exposures.
