I decided to have my impacted wisdom teeth removed over winter break. On Wednesday under general anesthesia I had 4 wisdom teeth "cut out". I also had a twelve year molar that was growing in horizontally surgically up righted and gum tissue covering another twelve year molar was removed. 3 days later I've now supposedly reached maximum swelling potential (my face is akin to that of a chipmunk). If you've had a similar procedure how long did it take for your swelling to go down? Also what tips are useful to reduce swelling faster?
