Ouch, Cali!
They really yank on your teeth to pull them out, so it's no wonder your face is swollen. I had one removed about 3 years ago because it had cracked, and whilst it was not sore (as I had injections) it was bizarre feeling them pulling away at it!
If I go ahead and get braces, they will remove 3 more teeth, and I am so NOT looking forward to it! Instant diet for a few days, though - a soft food one at least.
I really do hope you feel better soon, though
