Why is lump near wisdom tooth extraction site painful?

I had my horizontal wisdom tooth extracted. It's been painful for 4 days. Then the pain reduced. Then i noticed a hard lump near my jaw near the surgical site. It hurts a lot when i open my mouth and laugh.

Answered on 2nd Dec '24

It seems you probably suffer from a condition named dry socket that can occur after a tooth extraction. The firm lump near your jaw can be the clot that could not form the proper way. This, in turn, might be causing your mouth pain and the feeling of not being okay to move. In addition to applying a cold compress, try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water and you will be pain-free. Apart from these remedies get professional help from dentists.

I'm 22 yrs old female and I've had this brown spot under my tongue, and now i see similar spots over the side of my tongue. I'm confused as to what they're. And recently I've been to dentists too, for tooth extraction and filling. But none of them suggested anything. Like if those spots were danger to me or not. I've been an active smoker and recently am trying to quit it. I'd really like to know if those brown spots are dangerous for me.

this condition is called xerostomia, which means less production of saliva.
Clincal examination is needed to check the salivary glands functioning.

What is the best age to start orthodontic treatment?

Female | 22

The optimal age to begin orthodontic treatment is typically 7 to 9 years old. This is because at this time children have a combination of adult and baby teeth, making it easier to fix problems like crowding or an improper bite. Early intervention can prevent more severe issues as they get older. If your child has irregular teeth, difficulty biting or chewing food, or breathes through their mouth regularly, then seeing an orthodontist for assessment would be wise.
