Answers:
It is totally normal to seem swollen after wisdom tooth extractions!. Having all four removed is very traumatic to your mouth!. However after 6 weeks there should not be any swelling!. Rinsing right after an extraction is a big no!.!. no!.!. but since it has been a few weeks you should be fine!. I would apply ice packs to the outside of your cheek area three times a day for about 10 minutes each time!. See how it is after 1 week if it isa still swollen contact your DDS that did the extractions!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Get ice cubes and wrap them in a towel!. Apply ice for ten minutes a few times a day!. Do it for three days and the puffiness should go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
