Good day,
I'm a 25-year old male. Two weeks ago, I had a 4-hour-long surgery to extract 8 teeth (4 wisdom 4 impacted with the wisdoms). A big cyst was also taken out from the upper jaw (above the impacted pair). I started to feel really good 4 days after the surgery and the gum healing was and is going perfectly as my Dr. described. My problem is that yesterday I felt my right cheek mildly swollen (only outside). Still it's there today. It can be noticed if you look at it closely. It hurts if pressed on. I feel mild discontinuous pain from that area which I can really ignore.
Why did it swell after that time? Shall I get back to my dentist or wait more few days?
Thank you
