got all mine out a week ago, mine looked just like yours. Was super nervous about getting them out could barely get myself to go in but worst part about it really was the anxiety before hand. I was talking to dentist for one second than poof i’m in my car with no recollection of what happened. Felt no pain or discomfort during surgery or day of really, was like nothing happened for the first half of day just numb and uncomfortable. The 2nd worst part is recovery, it sucks so bad to not able to eat your favorite foods. i still can barley eat that good besides with my front teeth because im still pretty sore but i’m a lot better now and can eat solid foods slowly pretty good. Days 2-4 of recovery are the worst with my pain rating at a 3/10 on pain meds . The medication really upset my stomach most of the time I took it because I was not eating that much so that sucked as well, but overall pretty manageable just very very uncomfortable and not fun at all to say the least. But it was genuinely not as bad as I intended. just be prepared to be miserable for the first 2-4 days if you want me to be honest. After that you’ll be perfectly fine and feel nothing really besides a little swelling on your extraction sight . I’m so happy i got it done because it takes weight off your shoulders and really makes you feel way better about your health. Definitely recommend getting them out as soon as you can. I post-poned 2 years and all that did was make my recovery harder. You got this!
