Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have swelling after extraction of teeth dont be worried so much swelling can be due to unhealed extraction socket . I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of socket and take proper course of antibiotic for healing of socket.
Do warm saline rinses after 24 hrs of extraction . Dont do rinse vigrously . Dont put teeth in unless swelling reduces.
Hope this will help you
