I'm on day 3 after having my left-side wisdom teeth removed, both upper and lower, and I've been having a lot of pain in my left temple. It's so bad that I can't sleep at night. I'm also worried because the left side of my tongue is still numb. What's going on here? Could you help me understand what's happening and what I should do?

Jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, can be a complex procedure, especially when addressing issues like an upper jaw sitting behind the lower jaw. The recovery period can range from several weeks to a few months, and the cost can vary significantly based on factors like the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon's fees

My son had cleft surgery 9 years ago but now his upper and lower jaws don't seem aligned properly His lower lip is protruding and looks thicker What should be done next and is there a recommended age for further treatment
Post-cleft jaw misalignment often needs orthodontics or orthognathic surgery; ideal age is after growth completion, usually mid to late teens.

I've had an oral mucous retention cyst for about a year and a half now. I ignored it at first, but now I want to get rid of it. Is surgery the only way to remove it, or are there antibiotics that can help? If I do get surgery, will the stitches dissolve on their own and how long does that usually take? Also, will there be a permanent scar after it's removed?
Oral mucous retention cysts usually require surgery for removal, as antibiotics won’t solve the problem. The stitches used during surgery are often dissolvable, and scarring can be minimal, depending on the surgery technique.
