Should I Be Concerned About The Swelling In The Inner Cheek After Wisdom Tooth Removal Normal?
Hi,
I had my wisdom tooth lower one removed 4 days back. While the pain on the site is reduced there is a swelling on the left inner cheek that is big. I have checked with the doctor yesterday and he said that wound had no infection and was healing well. The swelling on the cheek
worries me a bit
