Wisdom Teeth healing.?!
Question: Hello!
Today I am 7 days after my wisdom tooth extraction. All 4 were funky shaped and impacted.
As of today, I am taking just regular ibprofen at night (seems to be more tender at night) very little to no pain during the day, some jaw soreness (how it feels when you laugh a lot). One site (bottom left) which was the most difficult of extractions is still a little sore, and seems irritated by the stitches.
Does everything sound normal? Am I out of the woods for a dry socket?

Oh you would know if you had a dry socket... they are extremely painful.
Be sure to go back to your dentist for a re-check just to be certain everything is healing in proper order.
