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?

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.

View allI'm a bit worried because four days after having my wisdom tooth taken out from the lower left side, I suddenly started noticing this strange taste in my mouth. Ive been sticking to all the instructions and prescriptions my doctor provided, and thankfully theres no pain. But this odd taste is concerning. What could it be, and should I do something about it?
Could be a sign of infection. It's good that you have no pain, but the odd taste may indicate an issue. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help with the taste and prevent infection. You can also take antibiotics like amoxicillin to treat any infection that may be present. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor. If the odd taste persists, it's best to consult your dentist for further evaluation.

My upper teeth don't show when I talk or smile, and I also have an underbite. Would I need upper jaw surgery to make my teeth visible? How complicated is that procedure and what's the cost? Are there any non-surgical options to fix this?
I prefer you to visit once orthodontist. He/she ll give u a better treatment plane .

It's been over a year since my double jaw surgery, but my upper lip still feels stiff and tight. It looks a bit off and doesn't feel normal. Is there anything that can be done to improve this?
