I just had my two bottom wisdom teeth removed yesterday. They were impacted so they were cut out. The bleeding is controlled and I haven't been in much pain. It just feels like pressure, so I have only taken Tylenol for it so it's not as sensitive. 24 hours after my surgery I began using a saltwater rinse after every meal and I am also taking the antibiotics my oral surgeon prescribed to me to avoid infection. The stitches I have will dissolve.
About six hours ago I noticed a white patch over the stitches and on top of the gum where my left bottom wisdom tooth used to be. My left cheek seems more swollen than the right and that area is slightly more sensitive also.
Should I worry? What is this white patch?
I would call my oral surgeon but his office doesn't open again until Tuesday.
Thank you!
