Thank you for the informative video Doctor, I got my upper and lower wisdom tooth removed on the left side 12 days ago and still have considerable pain, which is usually around my cheek bone, under my jaw bone, throat (sharp pain while swallowing, restricted to the left side of the throat), and around the ear and TMJ, and my mouth can open maximum upto 2 fingers wide, and that too, causes a sharp pain but it's bearable. Usually my pain tolerance is quite high. It has become better from what it was on day 1 after extraction but still very painful. My dentist says I should just keep stretching and should force open my mouth otherwise it will lead to trismus. But maybe I already have trismus?! I don't know how much should I force open my mouth as it is very painful, despite taking painkillers and muscle relaxant medications prescribed by my dentist and hot water fomentation. I am in India currently but flying out to Australia for 6 months and my stitches have still not been removed as I cannot open my mouth fully. I doubt if I will be able to see a dentist when I go to Australia. Is it going to be okay to let the stitches remain as they are? Will they fall out on their own? How much should I force my mouth open? Is it expected to take this long to recover? and how many more days do you think this will last? Sorry for so many questions, any help would be really appreciated!

I have recovered but experience on-off odd feeling(not pain exactly) under the jaw/in the throat and slightly in the ears too. Im writing to you coz ideally it should have made sense if the LOWER ones were extracted NOW. Since ive gotten the upper removed and all these things happening in lower part of my right mouth/neck/throat..should I be worried?? Yes if i may mention, in my lower extraction from 6 months back, i did have to get rid of some of the bone + both upper and lower WT were infected.. Given the situation, are my sensations normal?🌷 Would really appreciate a reply, would be helpful.. edit: have also been experiencing an oral sore on the same side of cheek. Just thought i should mention although may be totally unrelated..

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hi! I think it's best if you can take an X Ray at your Dentist's clinic to assess the situation better. Pain and odd feeling is ok untill a few weeks after extraction, but should not happen after 6 months as you've mentioned. This does need further investigation.

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey Priyanka. You need to do some mouth opening exercises to increase your jaw opening. It should take about 3-4 days more till your mouth opening is restored back to normal. And then it will be a good time to take off your stitches. Are you using hot water or just mildly warm water? Did you complete the course of medicines as prescribed by the surgeon?

Hi, Thank you for all the tips. I'm 51 and have localized gum disease. Have been taken cara by a gum specialist and the condition is very much under control. I started having mild pain and he discovered a hidden wisdom tooth and according to the surgeon it's chronic. Closer to the sinus and also affected the root of the neighboring tooth now both need to be surgically removed.. Because I have started cleaning those areas thoroughly I have no discomfort at all. In fact feels normal. According to the surgeon I may have issues due to the sinus after the surgery like water leaking through my nose when I drink. But he can do something about it if that happens. Now I'm thinking of starting oil pulling and hold the surgery until I notice some discomfort in the future. I have successfully kept my gum disease under control.

Hi mam, Its been 5 days since I removed my left lower wisdom tooth. Still I feel numb in Left part of the tongue . I couldn't talk properly and no sense at all. Is it normal? Wen will it be cured?

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! It seems like you could have some nerve tissue damage as you have numbness still. The nerve of the lower jaw is very closed situated to the wisdom tooth and hence while extraction there is always a chance for nerve damage. You will have to inform the clinic about this as soon as possible and meet with an Oral Surgeon who can further guide you. You will have to take some medicines to help restore the nerve functions. It is a very slow process, so be patient. TC!

Hi Jon. The pain while gulping and increased salivation is all normal. Don't worry about it too much. The salivation will be better by tomorrow and the swallowing will take about 2 days to improve. Don't forget to have a soft diet and it's best to stay away from spicy and hot food. Best advice I can give you is, don't miss out on the hot water rinses. They are a must!! Start them 24 hours after your surgery, NOT before that!

Doctor I am 19 years of age, and I had my bottom lower left wisdom tooth extracted on 21st dec though the teeth was a impacted one, half of the teeth was clearly visible so they took it out normally but they gave me stitches. On the 23rd I got liver clots I thought it was normal and on 25th the bleeding wasnt stopping so I went to a doctor he cleaned the liver clot and gave me clotting meds and antibiotics and betadine to use as a mouthwash. On 29th dec the doctor removed the stitch and said because there was an infection so, the hole didnt close. He didnt put any stitches again. Today is 3rd Jan there no sign of blood. The hole looks to be healing. Neither there is any pain. Am I doing okay doctor and when is the hole likely to close? And how much time will it take for me to grow the bone back. Does taking calcium tablets help? And also can i start brushing the other three sides.

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hi there! Looks like you're doing pretty well. The bone fill takes up a few weeks of time. Don't worry about it too much. Let things take their natural course. All you have to do is maintain good oral hygiene. TC!

Hi Dr i got my right lower wisdom tooth removed and it was really had to remove it .. first of they tried pulling it but it broke twice .. so after that my right side has bern numb my eye cant close well my chin cant feel it and my lips moves to the left side when i try to eat if when talking my lips faces the left side am worried what seems to be the problem still in pain and 4months pregnant

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! That sounds traumatic. Where are you from?

[@nashipaecharles3456]

Kenya am still recovering from the damaged caused ..i suffered bells palsy

[@shivamanand3908]

I got my wisdom teeth removed a few hours ago and a lot of spit is forming which gives me a strong urge of spitting it out but I am trying to swallow it. But it pains a lot when I do that and will it dislodge the sutures or clot?

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hi! Yes, spitting out will dislodge the clot. Hence, please please refrain from doing so. Excessive salivation is a common occurrence and usually settles in 4-5 hours. Hope you are doing better today. TC!

[@ysr1592]

Are you fully recovered now??

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hi! Yes you can extract them at any age, that's not an issue at all. If it gives you trouble again and again then you must choose to extract it. TC!

[@jyotishj7582]

Doctor as you said not to gargle, my mom gave me milk with sugar or after eating ice cream, what to do,

[@DoctorUpasana]

Drink lots of water after you eat. Avoid swishing and spitting that water as that could cause bleeding.

Hi doctor!! How many days mild pain remains after wisdom tooth extraction?

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hi Shamika! What’s your specialisation? I see that you too are a Dr😀 The mild pain/discomfort lasts for about 3-4 days depending on the type of surgery

@Doctor Upasana one doubt I feel pain at lower left side wisdom teeth i decide to remove that teeth but one doubt it must necessary remove at upper teeth or not ? Upper wisdom teeth is perfect

[@DoctorUpasana]

That's a great question! We usually recommend to get the upper one out as well. Since the lower one is gone anyways the upper one becomes practically useless and there is a chance for supra eruption as well. To prevent that it's best to get both wisdom tooth out.

For me still sensitivity is there when dirnking normal water or any sweet or any hot food too on that side & gap is there between removed teeth and adjacent teeth only on the back side and front side covered with gum tissue, is there is any problem to me, Madam?

I removed my wisdom before 2 days. As it was in a deep position so my cheek and throat swollen very much. I hv fever also only when the swolling pain is in extrm situation. I m taking paracatamol on dat situation. Is it normal dctr?

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hi. Post extraction swelling is common. But, paracetamol is not sufficient to treat your issue. It's best that we do a online consultation so I can prescribe some better medicines.

How long u had fever?

When hole is healing is the white stuff around it normal. I see white stuff around mines. I don't know if it's food or I'm not cleaning properly Orr it's just healing over 🤔🙃

[@DoctorUpasana]

It's not normal to have a lot of white scarring in the tissues. It could be a case of dry socket, so my advice would be to visit your doctor as soon as possible. TC!

Hi removed wisdom teeth one month back. No pain no fever no swelling. But WBC is elevated.reason?

[@DoctorUpasana]

There could be multiple reasons for it. It’s not possible to pin point why in your case. I don’t see any Co relation with the extraction though, unless your healing was delayed and the wound was infected.

[@bubbles9054]

Hi doctor! Had my wisdom tooth extraction yesterday because my gums was already swollen and caused me pain for days. Never thought thats it’s hard. I still have 3 wisdom tooth left. Do you suggest to have all wisdom tooth removed?

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! It's not necessary to remove all of them if they are not troubling you. Just remove the one's that are giving you pain. Wish you a speedy recovery. TC

[@pk999.]

It's been one week the hole is not yet closed how long does it take and can I eat crunchy foods?

Yes you can get back to eating as per usual. The healing will take more than a month.

hi Dr my question is i have lower wisdom tooth growing I don't kmow if it is the reason it is causing me sinus pain. please reply

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! Lower wisdom tooth can't give you sinus pain or issues. It could be your upper wisdom tooth or maybe another problem all together. Where do you live? Have you visited a Dentist?

is sinus same as cheekbone pain

[@atlantissenpai3376]

Could u pls tell me about how much does it pain during the surgery??

[@DoctorUpasana]

Hey! The surgery is totally painless as it's performed under local anaesthesia. Your mouth and jaws would be numb and thus you won't feel any pain at all.

My dr told third molar is coming it should be removed as it may damage adjacent teeth but no pain right now
