[quote=Sherlock Holmes]
I had to have part of my jaw removed for one of the teeth, too. (Impacted.) A rather unpleasant thought, of course, but I had no pain or swelling afterwards, and I was eating semi-solid foods again that very night. (Had the procedure done first thing in the morning. I had cream of wheat and things of that nature the first day, but I was eating regular solids again the next day.)Did you have a surgeon do yours or did you have it done at the dentist?

Done at the dentist. But then again my mom had all four of hers done at the dentist and didn't experience any swelling and hardly any pain, so it's probably something that varies person to person.
