my daughter had her 4 wisdom teeth removed 22 days ago.  Her follow up appointment went well.  Yesterday, she noticed that she has a bump on her lower jaw in the region that one of her wisdom teeth was removed.  It is painful to the tough, but hard and she has some slight swelling, but not really that noticeable.  Is this a possible infection?
Hi thanks for your query. During tooth extraction the bone that supports the tooth is compressed to allow proper healing and to adapt bony margins. The bump what you have been explaining might be hard and sharp bone. This is because extraction to wisdom tooth is done surgically by cutting bone if necessary.is the site is infected your daughter must take a complete course of antibiotic and painkillers along with intermittent worm saline gargles. Visit your dentist check the site clinically and also get a radiograph done if necessary. Hope this is helpful.
