Swelling around rct tooth
I got my wisdom tooth extracted. I got my rct done on my next molar. Last week i got the permanent filling done and 2 days back the crown was put. I am having a bit of swelling around that area. I get pain when i touch the area. Also the inner cheek around the teeth is bit reddish and hurts when i touch there. It is normal? What should i do to alleviate the pain? Pls suggest me oral routine i should follow.
I am attaching images that was sent by my doctor: One before wisdom teeth removal. Other one after temporary filling.

Hello,
Swelling and pain seems likely because you have undergone wisdom tooth removal and takes time to heal.

Do visit your dentist if pain and swelling doesn't subside within a week.
Health Tips
Proper oral hygiene should be maintained and use a mouthwash twice a day. Chlorhexidine would be a good option.
