Hi there,
I had my right upper wisdom tooth, as well as the tooth next to it extracted 6 days ago. The tooth next to the wisdom tooth appears to be healing normally, but the wisdom tooth area is swollen and feels firm. Will it subside or should I return to the dentist?

Thank you in advance.

Looks OK from the limited photo. You've lost a fair bit of bone from having 2 adjacent teeth extracted, so it will take several months to remodel into a less lumpy shape.
