Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if you had severe pain in wisdom tooth it can be probably due to infection in gum flap that surrounds the wisdom tooth leading to Pericoronitis..
As you are on a soft diet which might be lacking an appropriate quantity of fibre therefore you are having loose stools with plenty of fluids..
If you still have some infection and pain present consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and you can be advised Antibiotics and painkillers for reducing infection..
For improving bowels take more of green leafy vegetables and salads in diet and do moderate workout..
You can also take fibre supplements like Psyllium..
Take Yoghurt in diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards.

Hi...Can understand your concern...As per your query about pain while chewing food post extraction of teeth somewhere shows that wound after extraction has not healed properly...I wish to have some more details about you like you age?what medication you took after the extraction?do you take any other medication or any other health issue?Altogether 5 teeth got extracted shows that you had probably periodontitis or for what reason the doctor extracted 5 teeth along with wisdom tooth?....The possible reasons for having pain after extraction may be there was dislodgement of clot after extraction which causes impaired healing or pain called as dry socket...Another possible reason is,it may be possible that any root piece got broke while extraction and was left by doctor mistakenly...There is impaired healing due to high blood sugar also..so you need to check that...Normally the wound should heal within 7-10 days..I suggest you to visit the doctor again for a review of oral cavity and to know the exact cause ,and get an post extraction xray done if needed.For the time being I advice you to take analgesic like ibuprofen three times a day and avoid smoking...Its normal to have watery stools as you are mostly on soft and liquid diet these days...I hope the information helps you...I can guide you further if any queries and you can attach the image along...Wish you good health..Take care.
