[|Human|] Hi,I had my lower left impacted wisdom tooth removed a week ago today.The appointment took about 3hrs and it was quite a complicated surgery to say the least! (also knocking out the neighbouring filling of another tooth).I was diagnosed with TMJ 10 years ago so I was quite sore afterwards and my body actually went into shock after an hour or so.Im on my second course of antibiotics and pain killers, but the only thing I get relief from is tiger balm.I am still unable to eat solids of any kind, even a smooth cornmeal porridge causes great pain. Im currently stuck with smoothies and milkshakes which provide little protein for my recovery. I need to know if there are any exercises etc that I can do in order to speed up my recovery? I live in the Caribbean and dont have access to all of these rinses etc that are rerecommended :(Also, I have family visiting a week tomorrow and really need to be able to eat before then!
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking the query, I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth extraction is not a simple procedure and often associated with post extraction complications. A complete extraction wound healing takes about 3 months, but pain goes off completely in 3-5 days. I would suggest you to take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics. Take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles to prevent infections and promote healing. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Take care!
