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?

Is it normal to have ear pain more than a week after a tooth extraction done through minor surgery? The discomfort hasn't gone away and I'm a bit worried about it

While ear pain after a tooth extraction is common, especially in the lower jaw, it typically resolves within a week as the extraction site heals. If your ear pain persists beyond a week and hasn't improved or even worsened, it's a sign to consult your dentist or oral surgeon

I'm really scared about getting my wisdom tooth removed because it's partially grown and causing me a lot of pain. I've heard about laser-assisted surgery does it actually help with less pain and no stitches? I'm super anxious about the whole procedure

Yes LASER assisted surgery is better but then it adds to the cost. The conventional flap raising method is time tested
