I just had all four of my wisdom teeth removed on Thursday?

Question

My cheeks hurt a lot as well as my throat. Is this normal? the pain is still there but less and less everyday, its just my throat and cheeks that are bothering me

Answer 1

same thing happened to me last summer when i had 4 removed. it's normal, unless they hurt real bad or keep hurting till this thursday, it's fine. if they do hurt real bad or keep hurting i'd contact a doctor.

Answer 2

Hello...You sound as though your going through the normal post extraction discomforts... The degree of the discomfort is directly related to the degree of difficulty the DDS had in removing the teeth...If your following all the post extraction instructions you should do fine...Be sure your using a 10% salt to water mix to rinse with two to four times daily and if you were give antibiotics don't miss taking them on time. And use "cold " packs, not hot packs...Hot packs cause the blood to gorge and that causes pressure in the tissue that will in turn cause discomfort...eat soft cooked veggies and drinking a Canned meal such as "Ensure" from time to time will sooth your throat while you heal. Good luck and I wish you well.
