a wisdom tooth beginning to protrude
Hello, I am a 24 year old student from California. I recently went through oral surgery to remove a wisdom tooth. Turns out that my wisdom tooth was impacted meaning that it was covered by my gums. The Oral Surgeon had a very difficult time extracting the bone. Anyways, my mouth was numb and swollen right after the surgery. They prescribed me medication to relieve the pain and some antibiotics. The swollen went away after about 4 days and now I just feel a lot of pressure on my teeth that were right next to the extracted wisdom tooth. I am under a lot of pain and am thinking about going to the oral surgeon tomorrow to check for a dry socket. This is my experience. I have talked to different people and some of them had different results.
