Weird pain??
$42,000
Hi All! I'm hoping someone can help. I am 5 days post surgery and having a lot of pain on the roof of my mouth. It isn't where the stitches are, it's further back and sort of feels like a burn. It is really driving me crazy and I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this and if anything helped? Help, please!!

The big day!
It's done! It's really really done! What a long day. I got to my appointment at 8am and just finally left at 6:20pm.
My thoughts while they are fresh,
I'm honestly shocked by the pain factor. I literally am in NO pain. I went in and they started the extractions immediately. I'm not go back lie, that part was awful. I supposedly had twilight but I was awake through nearly half of the procedure. AWFUL. But soon enough I was resting in recovery lounge with my husband. Next up was the impressions. By this point everything was so numb I could hardly tell they were touching me. After the impressions they had a little fine tuning to go to the teeth which took around 2 hours while I slept and watched tv. Next step was screwing on the new beauties and I was off. I'm now home and resting. I am already starting to bruise some on the left side of my face and swelling is beginning. I was able to get a pic though before the swelling gets to bad. This is my pathetic extent at a smile and then I gave up and just had to lift my lip.

We had the same D-day! How are you? I have no pain, swelling is minimal. Your teeth are beautiful, congratulations!

Awesome! Congrats to you as well. I'm feeling a little rough today. Swelling is starting and I'm very nauseous. The pain is not too bad but I'm definitely taking my pain meds every 4 hours.

omg, your teeth are absolutely beautiful. Congratulations. I will be having the same procedure with Dr. Golpa. Scared to death and mortified that people will be inspecting my teeth up close and personal. Yikes. You look great and I hope you feel better soon.

I had my all in 4 done two years ago, I had hardly no pain...I was shocked!! On the 3rd day was when the bruises and swelling appeared. I didn’t do se well on the soft diet, I broke a couple of teeth with my temporary teeth
