Uncomfortable feeling 10 days after wisdom removal

[snojo]

Today is 10 days after I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled (2 on top and 1 on the bottom) and I still have an uncomfortable feeling when I eat or talk. it’s not painful or anything but my mouth just doesn’t feel normal especially when I eat. It almost feels as if something more than just my 3 wisdom teeth are missing, Thats the best way I can think of to describe it. I don’t know if it feels that way because new gum tissue is forming/growing back or maybe they removed some of my gum before they could pull the wisdom tooth and that’s what’s giving me this sensation. anyway, is this normal 10 days after wisdom extraction? Has anyone else experienced this? Will that feeling go away?

Every person will respond differently. What can be abnormal are swelling, intense pain, and more rare, numbness.

Well It’s certainly not intense pain or numbness, but if it’s swelling then wouldn’t that be very noticeable when I look inside my mouth with a mirror. I say that because I don’t really notice anything different besides the slightly open holes where my wisdom teeth used to be.

By the way, since it’s not intense pain or numbness do you think my mouth will eventually feel the way it used to? Do you think the weird/unusual feeling could be due to new tissue forming?

The unusual feeling could be from the healing process. You may eventually get used to the new conditions.
