after you get a wisdom tooth pulled

how many days did you experience swelling in your face?

my whole right side is swollen, its so embarrassing to go out anywhere ... it slightly better each day, but going on day 3 and I'm wondering when it will be over..

I had 3 pulled all at once and I remember being swollen for about 4-5 days.

About a week.

Re: after you get a wisdom tooth pulled

one more question, are you allowed to brush your teeth after?

I was pretty groggy but I feel like they told me to only rinse with salt water...

Re: after you get a wisdom tooth pulled

They didn't send you home with written instructions? I had mine done close to 8 yrs ago, so I don't remember exactly. Do you have stitches? I think that's the main thing you want to be careful of. I had to use some type of water syringe to clean out the back of my teeth by the stitches.
