Question:
How long should the pain and swelling last after wisdom teeth extraction?
I'm 16 years old and I had four wisdom teeth removed three days ago (1 impacted). My cheeks have swelled up more than twice than normal size and my gums where the teeth were removed have been throbbing. I was told that the pain and swelling subside after a few days but a remain skeptical as the pain in my mouth doesn't feel any better. Does anybody have any extra information or advice about the pain and swelling?
Answers:
Your sugeon should have givin you pain medication for you to take. And don't worry about the pain. I know that it is uncomfortable and its not fun so just eat some smoothies...no straws though, and relax!
