I had 3 wisdom teeth removed, all of them were soft tissue empacted. The surgery was quick but I had to have somewhere between 6 and 10 shots. Is it normal for my cheeks to be swollen around where the needles were inserted? It has been 3 days now, and the swelling on the bottom stitches is scaring me. Is it normal for swelling to peak at 3 days? Also, I am having a most bizarre sensation on the outside of my right cheek and all the way up to my ear. My skin is sensitive and painful to touch, and although I've been swishing with salt water twice a day and brushing, I am worried that I have an infection in the wound. Would an infection smell pretty bad? What other signs could I look out for?
