[|Human|] I got my wisdom teeth removed about 2 weeks ago, but I dont know if this plays a role in my issue.  I bit my cheek really hard about 3 days ago, and I have been moving my jaw around more often than usual. Today the inside of my cheek is really swollen and it kind of hurts and I cant chew food on that side.
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. Your cheeks get puffy and swollen after your wisdom teeth are removed because your body is going through a process that will help heal the damaged tissue.  Getting your wisdom teeth taken out can be a traumatic experience for your body.  It responds by trying to heal the extraction site as quickly as possible.  Inflammation and swelling helps this healing occur. It is important to know that the swelling is a normal, healthy response that your body is mounting due to the trauma from the extractions. The puffiness and swelling will start to decrease approximately three to four days after the wisdom teeth extraction and should completely subside about one week after the extractions. Heat applied on the third day after surgery can help reduce cheek swelling. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
