Complications from wisdom teeth removal?!
Question: I got four of my wisdom pulled out on January 7th, and the swelling and the pain subsided after about a week or a week and a half, but ever since a couple of days ago, I've been having a throbbing pain on the lower right side. If I kind of feel around with my tongue, I think there is a bump between the cheek and the gum line. I can't ask my dentist because I am going to be out of the country for a couple of months, and anyway, the oral surgeon who pulled my teeth was terrible and actually left bits of sutures hanging out from the sockets and so I would not feel comfortable asking his opinion. Does anybody know if revived pain could be a sign of infection?

you need to see a dentist doctor what ever where ever you are because you could have and infection an abcess a piece of tooth or bone or suture in there. I got a knot in the scar tissue where the tooth had been and it was a bone chip. Apparently that tooth'd roots had wrapped around my jaw bone and when it was pulled it chipped the bone
