Is Swelling common right above the extraction site?
I had an tooth extraction done on my upper right molar dec 4 at 11:00 am in the morning. The dentist said everything went smoothly and I was given simple instructions to take home. I'd just notice some swelling started to take on dec 6, right above the extraction in my gums and roof of my mouth is slightly tender is that normal? I know they said to expect it 24 or 48 hours afterwards. I didn't notice swelling on the 4th or 5th. I been rinsing with salt water and carefully brushing my teeth and been on a soft food for two days and I just started drinking pop yesterday should I'd waited longer to drink pop?

This is the 7th. I wouldn't worry too much unless the swelling gets sore to the touch. As with your tongue, not your finger. Don't brush the teeth around the site. That may be irritating sensitive tissue. Keep rinsing with the salt water. And discontinue the soft drinks.
If the swelling does not subside, call your dentist. |
