Pop star Miley Cyrus is nursing a swollen mouth after having five teeth removed on Wednesday (25Mar15).

The Wrecking Ball hitmaker shared a gruesome picture of the extracted teeth laid on a table on Instagram.com before adding a 'selfie' which showed her tucked up in bed in a hooded jumper. Cyrus had placed ice packs on either side of her swollen mouth, which was filled with pieces of cotton wool.

In the caption, she wrote, "Save me. F**king mizzy (sad)."

She later thanked her friends and her mother Tish for taking care of her, adding, "Ouchhhhyyyyy friggggennnn booooo boooo! (sic)."
