Suggest Remedy For Pain Caused By Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Hi, I had a wisdom lower right wisdom tooth removed 10 days ago. It was causing me a lot of pain, so I went to the dentist and he cleaned it out and packed it 3 days ago. It is still hurting a lot and their are white spots on the gum (on tongue side). Is this normal? He said the packing should help the pain go away quickly. This doesn't seem that quick.

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your querypain caused by wisdom tooth extraction is common finding after extraction of wisdom tooth and not to be worried about it.

The white colored skin around the gums may be a healing lesion and not any infected condition if you do not have any heavy pain or discomfort.

I would suggest you to continue your medicines as prescribed by the dentist but if you have any pain or discomfort you can consult your dentist again and get check-up done.

Otherwise continue medication and follow other instructions given to you by your dentist. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food substances.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Take a good care of your health. Get Well soon.

Best Wishes,
