    Wisdom tooth pulled. Gum surrounding it still swollen? Why?
    Had my wisdom tooth pulled. Had been given me problems off and on. Now the gum surrounding it is still swollen like it used to be before it was pulled. I do smoke, and when I yearn sometimes my jaw moves and hurts the gums. What can I do for this discomfort?

    Gently stretching the muscles of your jaw, a little bit several times a day, will help ease the tension. Your jaw is still healing and the muscles are trying to compensate for the missing molars.

    Hope this helps.
