Post Wisdom teeth Extraction? please helP? i wrote an essay so please respond :P?

Question

I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled the 16th. I was put to sleep and hte opperation took aboout 45 minutes. everything was going to be fine i was told. there are no pieces of wisdom teeth left in the doctor told me for sure. Now here it is hte 25th. and I think my mouth is still pretty swollen on the inside and i cant see my upper mouth. and i cant move enough of my swollen cheek out of hte way of my lower left to see it. when i look at the lower right all i see is a hole.. is this normal? any tips? my mom is extrememly pissed at me and making a big deal about me not mowing the whole lawn because once my heart started beating hard my mouth started pounding as well. She says i'm just being lazy because the only time i complained about it hurting was when i had to mow the grass. it still hurts most of hte time but its not bad. only when i get my heart racing. any advice on the mouth or mom problem? sorry for the essay.

Answer 1

Having your wisdom teeth pulled all at once will create a lot of swelling an discomfort but, if you are still swollen and it is now nine days later, you may have an infection.  When you get your heart racing, your tooth area or jaw hurts because it is swollen.  I suggest you call the doctor as soon as possible and get checked out.  Infections that are left too long will take longer to treat and cause more discomfort.  Use some ice and put it on your jaw for 20 minutes and off 10 minutes then repeat, that should help the swelling.  Good luck to you!
