The bottom takes longer to heal, especially if the tooth was impacted (under the gums, and/ or sideways) you will probably be swollen for a few days, it will be tender for a week or so. Make sure that you keep it clean!!!! They should have given you a water syringe to help keep it clean, if not, do your best to keep it clean. If the swelling doesn't go down, or if you have a bad taste in your mouth - go to the dentist/oral surgeon (who ever took them out) and they will help you from there! Gook luck

Everyone is different,our bodies respond differently.You are probably the most swollen today,and it should gradually start to get better.If your wisdom teeth were impacted(in bone) you can expect to be more swollen than if they were not impacted.Keep taking your meds and stick to a soft diet.Use your head,if it hurts to eat something-don't.You might get a syringe to flush out you sockets at your post-op visit.If you flush out the sockets too soon,you can develop dry sockets.If your swelling is getting worse,call your oral surgeon/dentist to let them know.You can gently rinse your mouth to keep it clean,no vigorous rinsing and gently spit.Hope you are doing better soon!Pattyv
