After wisdom tooth removal, follow-up with your dentist or oral surgeon is important for proper healing. Here's when you should see the dentist.
See the Dentist Immediately If You Notice:
1. Severe Pain After 3–5 Days – Could be a sign of dry socket.
2. Persistent Bleeding – Bleeding that doesn't stop after 24 hours needs attention.
3. Swelling That Gets Worse – Especially if accompanied by fever or pus (signs of infection).
4. Difficulty Opening Mouth or Breathing – Could indicate an underlying issue needing urgent care.
5. Bad Taste or Odor in Mouth – This may point to infection or food trapped in the socket.
Additional Appointments May Be Needed For:
- Suture removal (if non-dissolving stitches were used).
- Monitoring healing if it was a complicated extraction.
- Getting fitted for orthodontics or other dental work post-healing.
