Question:

I had all four wisdom teeth extracted 8 days ago, but my jaw is still stiff...what do I do?

Is there anything in particular that I can do for my mouth to open up a bit more? Right now, when I open wide, there is only a half-inch gap between the bottom of my top teeth and top of my bottom teeth. Hot towels? Massage? Please help.

Well, everything is pretty much healed up. I am able to eat things like pizza with ease. The problem is that I cannot really open it up. Thats the only side-effect remaining from the surgery.
