Sharp and sore pain in WT extract site
Hi,
I removed my upper right wisdom tooth 23 days back. It was an erupted tooth and had no stitches. OMFS said no stitches required. I didn't use that side at all to chew food. Having food and drinks at normal temperature only. Went for follow up last week. He said extraction site is healed.
Yesterday and today I tried to eat food on that side. I tried to have foods which is little hot. Suddenly I felt sharp pain on the extraction site. Just once for a second. Then its just sore. I didn't use that side to eat.
Today also I tried some mild hot lunch on that side. It was very sore in that extraction site. Is this normal? Do I need to stop eating on that side? Do I need to eat only room temperature foods? I saw the extraction site and it's white in color with some dark red spots in the center. Is this normal to have sore pain after 20 days on that extraction site? How long does it take to get back to normal?
I am having some lower jaw pain and swelling issues going on for 2 months.
Everything doesn’t require antibiotics .... just apply 2% lox gel .... and leave that site untouched for sometime .... look the tooth was in the socket and it has been extracted out of the socket ... now the socket has to fill ... all the soft tissues , bones local nerves supply and blood have to regenerate .... it is normal as these symptoms are more pronounced in some people .... so worry about it .... it’s not a case of dry socket and use chlorhexidine mouthwash .... it’s a good thing that the pain is not continuous and nagging ..... hope you find some relief with my opinion ....
