How long does jaw stiffness last after wisdom teeth extraction?
After wisdom teeth extraction jaw stiffness is common and usually takes about 2 weeks to feel normal. The ice pack in the first 24 hours helps with the swelling and the painkillers (depending on which one is prescribed) can help with internal inflammation. Massaging the jaw when taking warm showers also helps. If the jaw is very stiff, then short-term muscle relaxants may be prescribed at the discretion of your dentist.

Should I have gum pain after getting a tooth pulled?
Usually after a tooth extraction, the gum takes about 4-6 weeks to feel normal. The first 2 weeks, just take care of that area and baby it. There might be some sensitivity as the healing happens on the neighboring teeth. But if nothing major, then wait for 2 weeks after extraction and then see your dentist for a post-op. Hope that helps.

Can you get a bridge for 3 missing teeth?
Hello, Yes, a bridge can be done if the missing tooth area has an adjacent tooth on each side of it and those teeth are in good periodontal and structural health to support the load of the 3 unit bridge.
