It's been 3 days since I got my left upper and lower wisdom teeth removed, but my left temple keeps hurting nonstop and I can't sleep at night. Plus, the left side of my tongue still feels numb what's going on? Is this normal or should I be worried?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's possible your symptoms are related to a few things after wisdom tooth removal, including a dry socket, nerve damage, or inflammation. While some pain and numbness are normal after surgery, severe or persistent pain, particularly in the temple, and a numb tongue lasting more than a few days warrant a call to your dentist or oral surgeon.

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
