I have the surgery yesterday. It feels like he has taken quite a lot from the inside of both cheeks and part of my gum. I am swollen and tender and taking panadene forte 6 hourly and rinsing with a dilute antibacterial-analgesic mouth wash, as well as being on a course of antibiotics. The wisdom tooth removal isn't really bothering me. I don't know which one he took to be truthful. It is my cheeks that hurt. I go back to see the surgeon on the 14th, next Thursday, to get the results. thank you for all of your kind thoughts.
