Not Worth It
Spent: $2,000 in Washington

I didn't even want this surgery but they said I needed it in order to keep the straight teeth I had gotten from my braces.

I recently just had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out. I was under general anesthesia and they also numbed my whole mouth. They said the numbing should go away in 3-4 hours. Its been a whole day and I still cant feel my lips. What's going on?

Sounds like you got a healthy dose of analgesic in your mouth! Don't worry... when I had my wisdom teeth out, the numbness seemed to last forever. You shouldn't feel the affect of the numbing on your lips after a day.
