I had several teeth removed a few days ago. Ended up being in the chair for over 2.5 hrs. Feel quite tearful now and a not quite with it. Is this normal?!
Not eating normally and sleep is disturbed.

Definitely normal. I think it's classed as minor surgery to get teeth removed so totally understandable you're feeling off. Give yourself some time and rest and you'll start to feel back to normal soon. Take care x

I meant to add, if you continue to feel a bit under the weather, maybe give the dentist a call to check and make sure there's no infection. I had a tooth removed years ago and it got a bit infected so they just cleaned the area and gave me some antibiotics and I felt much better after that

Very normal. I always feel like this. Your body has essentially been under attack with all the concomitant adrenaline.

Thanks. The gums had to be cut to get all the roots out too - it was very traumatic!
