I had a dental procedure approx. 6 weeks ago. It was a wisdom tooth removal done right in the dental office, no sutures were required and I had no complications. I am now starting to get a little bit of a tooth ache feeling in that spot from time to time, its not constant and its not too painful, but its noticeable, and a slight burning sensation. A nurse told me that it could be spasming and healing. Do I still need to be concerned with lockjaw?
