Referred Pain: Pain from the extraction site may be referred down the nerve trunk that innervates the other teeth. In addition, pressure from the actual extraction may have inflamed the adjacent teeth. Pain meds should help your discomfort, and a call to your surgeon is in order if they don't.

Question 5

body aches after wisdom tooth extraction. is this normal?

Possible: Depends upon how stressed and worked up you were leading up to the proceudre. If you opted for local anesthesia instead of IV sedation, you may have been tense during the entire procedure and this will result in body ache. Also you should be on an antibiotc following the procedure because it is a  surgical procedure.

Make a bottle of this solution and rinse 3-4 times a day especially after meals and your breath will improve tremendously.
