On Tuesday I had my lower right wisdom tooth taken out. Come to today and I still can’t open past an inch. If I stress it I can do a little more each time but the muscles on my jaw tighten and hurt, and my the extraction site twinges. Is this normal? Can I expect a few more days of stiffness?
I had my wisdom tooth extracted on Monday morning. No stitches. It is Wednesday and the gums around the extraction site is still swollen and tender. How long does it take for swelling to go down and for gums to heal? Is this normal?
Had a wisdom tooth taken out 6 weeks ago and there is still a hole in my gums. My dentist told me that it will eventually fill in with gums and bone, but it’s been 6 weeks! Is it possible to have a permanent hole in your gums after an extraction? or… am I just being impatient?
I just had my wisdom tooth extracted two hours ago. The numbness has worn off and I’m really thirsty and hungry, but I’m still clenching the gauze. Is it okay to take some milk to relief my thirst and hunger without the gauze? Will this irritate the extraction site?
I’m starting to get nervous that my dentist told me that she doesn’t have any other choice but to have my wisdom tooth surgically removed because my wisdom tooth has cavity and it grew on an awkward position (Instead of growing it straight, it grew sideways which caused my teeth to overlap one on another)
If I did surgically remove it, what are the do’s and don’ts and how long should I rest before going back to normal activity?
Thanks.
I had a wisdom tooth removed 9 days ago, i still have pain in my jaw up to my cheek bone and at times in my temple. I’m not sure how long it takes to heal could it be infected?
I got a wisdom tooth taken out 7 days ago. A couple hours ago, the extraction site started getting sore. The soreness is gradually getting worse. I’ve been taking care of the site the way the oral surgeon instructed me to. Could this be a possible dry socket?
My top wisdom teeth are just coming in, and now on the bottom row, I have a round black/brownish spot on top of the gum just behind my last tooth. It feels hard, but doesn’t really hurt. Is that another wisdom tooth?
I just got my top right wisdom tooth taken out on Friday. Its Tuesday and I no longer feel pain but i do feel throbbing at the site where the tooth was taken out from. Is that normal or is that a sigh on infection. Also my molars next to where my wisdom tooth was taken out from are soar and feel a bit lose. HELP!!!!
My bottom wisdom tooth is impacted, and it’s pushing on my other teeth so that it kind of hurts. If I want to remove it, it’s going to be a small surgery. If I just leave the tooth alone will it get better by itself? Should I should leave it?
