Hello, I have just had my wisdom teeth (2 on the bottom) removed 3 days ago. Before the operation, the left wisdom tooth was visible coming out of the gum, whereas the right wisdom tooth was less visible more so covered by the gum.
After the first day, i didnt have any tooth pains, i replaced gauze pads after 30 mins, for about 2 hours, and a lot of the major major bleeding stopped, and ate pudding yogurt etc...
However that night, and continuing for about 2 more days (until this morning) ive had bad headaches (im still a teeth so maybe thats y i wasnt prescribed anything? but the post -operative paper says to use over the counter drugs) so i took tylenol which made it stop for some time. I was also feeling very weak.
Now my headache is gone, im not feeling as week but the problem now is the stitch on the right side (remmeber this is the side where the tooth was not as visible) is kind of irritating me as if i move my tongue even to the right side a little i feel hurt, and the very last tooth on the right side has some stinging pain....
The left side is fine, its not bothering me as much, and i can probably chew well on that side because the stitch is not that visible on the left and looks almost gone (just hurts a little if i move my tongue alll the way to the left but doesnt give me problems).
My right side however is the issue, any ideas on what it may be? Do i need to go back to the dentist? or should i wait? i know 3 days is not a while but its just that ive been rinsing with salt water washes and the stitches dont seem to go away or some parts dissolve off. What should i do?
