Suggest Treatment For Pain In Cheek After Tooth Removal

Hi, I got my wisdom teeth removed a week ago and lately I noticed that one of my teeth have a loose flap of gum around where the stitches are and it just started to bleed. Also, I've had pain in my cheek and sometimes where my lymph node is. My mom says its normal but I'm not sure it is..

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain in cheek after tooth removal which is very normal as pain and swelling occurs with 24-72hrs and it is due to excessive tissue trauma. Need not to worry. i would suggest you to apply ice pack on cheek and you can use surgical glove and keep it on cheeks for 10-12 min and leave it for sometime and reapply 4-5 times. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications. You should visit oral physician once and get it examined and start treatment after thorough examination if symptoms keeps on persisting. Maintain oral hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
