Wisdom teeth and swelling?!
Question:
Wisdom teeth and swelling?
I got my wisdom teeth pulled (all 4) on thursday, 4 days ago, and they are still a little swelled. Does anyone know how to get the swelling down??
Answers:
As a dentist I always recommend to my patients to use ice packs and cold compresses, this will not only help with the swelling but will also help control any post extraction pain you may have. If the swelling continues to last more than 48-72 hours then you consider calling your dentist to let him/her know whats going on. Also continue to take any antibiotics or pain medication that your dentist may have prescribed. Good luck and feel better soon!
