Gum pain after wisdom tooth extracted 2wks later?!


Question:

Gum pain after wisdom tooth extracted 2wks later?

I had 1 of my wisdom teeth removed on May22. The first 2 days after the surgery were somewhat unbearable but no so much in the sense of pain but rather with the discomfort from the pain meds. I had not really experienced any problems until early last week (almost 2 weeks after the surgery). I have started to experience pain around my gums (where the extractions were done) whenever I eat. This happens regardless of whether my meals are cold, hot, warm, room temp. Is this something that is normal? However, I thought this was something that could occur a couple of days after surgery not weeks after. Is there something I can do. On Advil for the past 2 weeks and apprehensive continuing for another week.

Any advise would be appreciated.
Thank You.


Answers:

2 weeks after your surgery you should have almost healed up, The best advice would be to go and see your dentist for a follow up...the gum would still be tender so if you are chewing food in that area maybe you need to avoid it for the time being.
