Getting your wisdom teeth taken out can result in a few weeks of sore gums and chipmunk cheeks. To reduce minor swelling after wisdom teeth removal, a simple icing method does the trick. If swelling is severe, ask your dentist for other treatments and advice.
- Step 1
Get a large sock made of a soft material like cotton. Make sure it is clean.
- Step 2
Fill a plastic sandwich bag with ice cubes. If it does not zip closed, twist the bag and use an elastic to keep it closed.
- Step 3
Put the sandwich bag filled with ice inside the sock. Push the ice all the way down into the toe of the sock.
- Step 4
Tie a knot at the open top of the sock to hold the bag of ice inside.
- Step 5
Hold the sock against your cheek for 20 minutes each hour. The swelling should go down in 24 hours. If your cheek is still swollen, consult your dentist for advice and other treatments.

Can you get braces having wisdom teeth?
AnswerIn most cases, there should be no problem in having your wisdom teeth extracted while you are still wearing braces.This is usually done when there is an infection on the wisdom tooth, or when the extraction is indicated to help with the orthodontic treatment.AnswerAfter having had braces, for four years, the orthodontist told me which teeth had to be extracted PRIOR to the braces being put on. The extraction sites had to then heal, before the braces could be applied. Working around braces is so difficult, that normal dental cleanings and flossing can NOT be done.

Is it normal for teeth in front of wisdom tooth pulled to be loose and super painful to touch?
It is common for the teeth in front of your extracted teeth to be painful after the extraction. It is called referred pain due to the fact that the same nerve that gives sensation to the wisdom tooth extracted goes to the teeth in front of that wisdom tooth. Now having said that, it is NOT normal for your teeth in front of your extracted teeth to be loose. This may represent some injury to the bone surrounding the loose tooth. Also, if these teeth are being moved orthodontically, they may feel loose due to widening of the space between the tooth and the bone. But this mobility may not be a problem. These teeth almost always stop hurting and feel more firm within a week or two.

Can impacted wisdom teeth possibly stop weight gain in some way?
No. Impacted wisdom teeth should have no impact on your digestive system, metabolism or muscles. The only way this would seem remotely possible is if the tooth is causing you pain, which might discourage eating. However, skipping meals causes increased weight or "yo-yo"ing weight in the long run, and is not really a recommended way of losing weight.
