If you’ve had your wisdom teeth removed, you may experience some inflammation after the procedure. But there are things you can do to address the symptoms.
Key takeaways:
– Prop your head up when lying down to facilitate a normal blood flow.
– Ice and heat therapy can be useful to relieve swelling.
– Use a salt water rinse up to three times a day.
After the procedure, your dentist or surgeon will explain what to expect and how to treat any discomfort and swelling.
