Hi I had upper first molar surgically removed six days ago. Now everytime I talk the inside of my cheek rubs the upper second molar next to extracted one. It is irritaded. I feel like the molar still there has moved or is it just swelling? If it is, when should this settle? Thanks
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling following surgical removal of the molar could be inflammatory origin. The swelling will be there for 7\u00a0days. You have to take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. The missing tooth has to be replaced since there will be gap between the teeth the adjacent teeth or opposing tooth might start Chat Doctor.  Even the cheeks will get caught in the adventurous space. Consult a prosthodontist and an oral physician to rule out the above said causes and manage accordingly. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
