Sore, Pain In Jaw Going Towards Chin And Neck After Extraction Of Wisdom Teeth, Soreness In Both Sides. Normal?
HI, I had my two bottom wisdom teeth removed two days ago. One of them was visible and just had an overlapping of my gum on it. The other one was not visible at all and was under my gums at a bad angle. Both sides are still pretty sore, but the side where my wisdom tooth was extraced is in a lot of pain. I almost feel like I pulled something in my jaw area. My jaw on that side is very tense and the pain starts a little past my chin to almost a little to the start of my neck. Is this all normal? Thank you !

Dear friend.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Please do not be worried,after a traumatic wisdom tooth extraction,generally the pain persists for three to five days.
slowly it will subside as the wound heals.
Also please follow the post extraction instructions religiously,to avoid occurrence of dry socket.
Meanwhile do warm saline rinses very gently,after each meal.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
