Did you have trouble closing the jaw during procedure?? In that case, inform your doctor so they can prescribe muscle relaxant before procedure. Tmj x ray open and close view will be beneficial incase of any such history

Hello
First of all do not get scared, wisdom tooth extraction is a very normal and a minor surgical procedure
Just visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon he will make things much much easier for you, have proper meals and go.
It will not take much time for the tooth to be removed, if you feel that your mouth is tired while opening mouth you can always request the doctor and take rest for a couple of minutes
Next Steps
Visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get your wisdom tooth removed
Health Tips
