I got my wisdom teeth pulled last Friday and I need advice

Question

ok its been a week and i still cant bite down fully. I'm not in pain though. When i look inside my mouth it's like a "blob" of jaw tissue or whatever on each side. I can touch it and it doesn't hurt. But when i try to bite down it feels like I'm biting down on my jaw. Does anyone know when this will go away?

Answer 1

I would imagine that it is just swollen tissue. Since teeth were removed, you would ideally have MORE space now than prior to the surgery--though swollen gums make it hard to believe. I would give it a few more days and if there's no change---contact the Dr with questions.

Answer 2

When stitches dissolve. Give it another week, and you should be back to normal =)
