I got my 2 bottom wisdom taken out on July 17th. There is still a lot of sensitivity and sometimes when I chew the right side of my mouth kind of feels like the gum is separating from my tooth. It feels very inflamed and sore. Is it normal to still be experiencing something like this almost a month later? I hope it's not infected. I have not called my doctor yet because the pain is not unbearable, more like really irritating.

Yes, I did have stitches put in. I'm pretty sure the holes are closed up by now... :(

CALL AND TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THIS.

I think you should call the dentist and have him check it out just to make sure everything is healing ok and that you don't have an infection. The longer you wait the worse it may get.

Not all infections hurt. Call the dentist.
