Tooth Extraction

Yesterday, 12/21/2011, I got 2 teeth extracted. The procedure is called profiling. If too many teeth are in the mouth, it causes the lips to move forward. By removing 4 bicuspids, this problem can be fixed. It really has no use besides making you look better- which I really think is not needed- but if my parents say so, I guess I will have to lose another 2 teeth. *Sigh*. Anyway, I got rid of 2 of them yesterday. I was given a numbing agent in about 10-13 shots in the mouth and lost feeling in the right half of my face. Still, it did hurt a lot when the teeth were being loosened. When my teeth were removed, I could only drink liquids for a day and had to eat soft foods only for a week. I got feeling back in my mouth after some 4-5 hours. I feel a little sore right now, but nothing actually painful.
