Pain in jaw after extraction
by melzgarcia, Nov 12, 2007 12:00AM
I had 2 horizontal impacted wisdom teeth removed and having lots of pain 3 days later. How long should I be experiencing pain in my jaw? It hurts to open my mouth/jaw.

It sounds like difficult extractions so I think you will have discomfort for 7 to 10 days, hopefully less.
Warm salt rinses may help.
