Had Wisdom Teeth Removed. Have Bump Inside Of Cheek Near Extraction. Blood Clot?
I had my wisdom teeth removed about two weeks ago. I had all four removed. I can feel the extraction hole in one of the bottom ones and I've kept it clean, but in the removal area of the other bottom tooth there is a bump or a knot on the inside of my cheek next to my other teeth. Should I be worried or is that just a blood clot? It doesn't hurt it just worries me.

Hi dear there is nothing to worry about that as you said you went under extraction of all the wisdom teeth, and problem lies on the cheek not on extraction site. sometime patients bites its own cheek when he / she is under the effect of Anesthesia which turns out to be a small knot or soft tissue mass on cheek..... so as per that there is nothing to worry it resolves after sometime own its on but if its troubling you during mastication so better to get it removed.

Hi
As per your query, you need to mention whether suture were given or not.
2 weeks is the enough time for healing to complete but sometimes tissue takes more of time to get levelled or uniform.
Maintain oral hygiene.
If that bumb becomes symptomatic then consult a nearby dentist.
Take care

hi... thanks for the query...
please don't be worried about anything... swelling is very common after wisdom tooth extraction... it will go eventually with time....
hope you are taking your medication properly.... also go for serratiopeptidase.... do warm saline rinses 6-7 times per day... and keep the area clean....
take care...

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Hematoma has developed at the site of extraction socket.
Take complete course of amoxycillin and diclofenac tablets.
Curettage and dressing the socket with ZOE has to be done.
Irrigate the socket with betadine.
Take care.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Post extraction of tooth, blood clot and healing tissue develop at that site which is good sign and necessary normal body mechanism. If there are no signs of inflamation or no problem then no need to worry. If any problem then consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
