Hi I am in the mid twenties and I just got my deep teeth cleaning today of my 1st quadrant. The procedure went well and I have been on soft diet just incase, but it s been 12 hours and I have been having elevating gum pain, swollen cheek and fever. I have taken pain killers but the pain/ fever is only getting worse with time. What do you suggest i do?
