I had all four teeth done at once years ago. (They were all pointed wrong, and had no room to come in anyway.) It varies person to person - when my sister had hers done, she looked like a chipmonk for three days. I - same surgery, same surgeon, same hospital - didn't well at all. (She was so annoyed at that - so looking forward to re-paying the teasing!) But afterwards it's just sore, but milk it for all the ice cream you can get!
