When you have teeth removed and this is your face now lol too cute! 😋

6/23 Edited to

Having teeth removed can be a daunting experience, but it’s often followed by some unexpectedly adorable moments, especially as the anesthesia wears off and your face takes on funny expressions. After my tooth extraction, I noticed my face looked puffier and my smile was definitely different, but those quirky looks made the recovery process feel a bit lighter and more relatable. Many people underestimate how temporarily altered your facial expressions can be post-extraction. The swelling and numbness affect muscle movement, leading to unusual yet cute faces that make for great photo memories (and some laughs). Beyond the humor, proper care is essential to ensure speedy healing. I found that following my dentist's advice on ice packs, soft foods, and gentle oral hygiene helped minimize discomfort and swelling. One of the best tips I learned is to stay well-hydrated and avoid strenuous activities for at least a few days. Also, using a saltwater rinse can soothe the sore area and promote healing. Sharing these experiences with others has helped me see that while teeth removal can be tough, embracing the funny moments and caring well for yourself makes the whole process much easier. If you’re going through this, keep a sense of humor and patience—your cute recovery face is something to smile about soon enough!

I GOT VENEERS 🤍

I got veneers in 2021, and I don’t regret my decision! While they could have looked a bit more natural, I chose the classic white because the other shades were too bright. Overall, I’m happy with them, especially compared to how my teeth looked before I had my braces removed when they were a bit ye

This One Habit Is Pulling Your Face Backward

This one habit can make your face move backward! Constant teeth contact or clenching activates the medial pterygoid muscle, pulling your jaw and face backward. Keep a small gap between your upper and lower teeth, maintain good posture, and let your face stay lifted naturally. #KokoFaceYoga

How to change face shape

Facial massage is temporary. It works on the surface, not the structure. Real face shape change comes from posture and muscle habits. Your face rests over 23 hours a day. That’s why posture matters more than massage. #KokoHayashi #KokoFaceYoga #FaceYoga #FacePosture #CorrectPos

How to fix crooked teeth

Crooked teeth and want a natural option? Posture matters. Looking down and a low tongue position can lead to crowding. When your tongue rests fully on the palate, it supports space for teeth to sit properly. For teens, changes can happen faster. For adults, it takes time and consistency.
