Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth dont worry after extraction swelling occurs but it is long time of 21 days consult your dentist again and go for oral examination if there is infection in socket thats why healing doesnt occurs .
You do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Consult dentist as early as possible .
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
Hope this will help you.
