It depends on where the swelling is. If it's on the skin put ice on it for like 30 minutes. If swelling has not gone down in 2 days go to the doctor.


Is swelling a normal reaction to wisdom tooth extraction?

It's pretty individual depending on how many are removed, how impacted they might have been and what how much stess was put on the jaw when they were removed. I had all four taken out when I was 17 and I looked like a chipmunk for about three days. The pain was pretty minimal after a day or two and the swelling was completely down by the fourth day.

Due to local anesthetic, it can be difficult to smile, talk, or even open and close one's mouth following wisdom tooth extraction.

Why do people get their wisdom teeth removed?

Wisdom teeth get pulled out to prevent pain and discomfort. If the wisdom teeth don't have enough room in the back of your mouth and they grow in they will push your existing teeth out of the way and cause them to be mashed together. They can also grow in sideways, this is known as being 'impacted'. Sores can grow on your gums and become infected, leading to major problems down the road.

How do you stop the swellng after extraction of my wisdom teeth?

Getting your wisdom teeth taken out can result in a few weeks of sore gums and chipmunk cheeks. To reduce minor swelling after wisdom teeth removal, a simple icing method does the trick. If swelling is severe, ask your dentist for other treatments and advice.Step 1 Get a large sock made of a soft material like cotton. Make sure it is clean.Step 2 Fill a plastic sandwich bag with ice cubes. If it does not zip closed, twist the bag and use an elastic to keep it closed.Step 3 Put the sandwich bag filled with ice inside the sock. Push the ice all the way down into the toe of the sock.Step 4 Tie a knot at the open top of the sock to hold the bag of ice inside.Step 5 Hold the sock against your cheek for 20 minutes each hour. The swelling should go down in 24 hours. If your cheek is still swollen, consult your dentist for advice and other treatments.
