Question 1

had 4 wisdom teeth removed 5 days ago.wht would i have tooth sensitivity and ear pain?

Accepted Answer

Oral surgery: If this is ongoing, that would be expected from the extractions.  If this is new, call your dentist especially if there is any fever - infection is a worry.

Question 2

hi it's 3 weeks since my wisdom tooth extraction. i had earache in my left ear which i did expect but that's gone. now i can't hear in right ear..

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You need someone to look in your ear today. Although it might be wax or fluid it could also be a viral hearing loss. Your primary care doctor should be able to see wax or fluid, if not you need to see an ENT doctor.

Question 3

is it normal to have mild ear pain and  jaw discomfort on the left side of my face  after 11 days of a wisdom tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Recovery period: after wisdom tooth extraction. The time needed for pain in the jaw and earache to disappear completely may be as long as 4-6 weeks. If concerned, see your surgeon for post-op exam.

Question 4

is it normal to have an earache after wisdom tooth removal? am i able to wear my night guard even though my wisdom tooth was pulled today?

Accepted Answer

Common: It is not unusual to have a headache and some local swelling after wisdom tooth extraction.  Some are able to wear a night guard afterwards but most need a couple days for it to be comfortable again.   Good luck!

Question 5

why i  feel my ear plugged  a few days after my wisdom tooth removal?

Accepted Answer

Normal or sinuses...: While it could be normal healing, wisdom teeth are close to your sinuses which could be swollen, infected or normal. The surgeon who performed your extraction(s) will have a good idea of your risks & should be eager to help you solve any issues. Call right away (if you need to be on antibiotics sooner is better). There are a # of other possibilities; again your surgeon is the best source ;-).

Question 6

is it normal to have some teeth sensitivity after wisdom tooth removal? it's been a month since the extraction, and i feel some gum swelling and sensitivity surrounding the wisdom tooth extraction site. a recent check-up showed everything is normal?

Accepted Answer

: Depending on the complexity of the extraction, this is not out of the ordinary. Since you have been examined post-op and everything appears to be fine, give it a little more time.

Question 7

three days after wisdom tooth removal,horrible throbbing headache mostly if i move my head a certain way. is this common? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Not common, call DDS: We know nothing about you, your medical history and the degree of difficulty of the extraction. What you describe is not common and may or may not be related to the surgery. What to do:? Start by contacting the dentist who removed your tooth. He\she can discuss this issue further, decide whether or not you should be seen in the office and\or referred to your own physician to rule out medical cause

Question 8

keep getting bad ear pain, both ears. throbs about 5 minutes then goes away. also have tooth sensitivity. sound like infection?

Accepted Answer

Not enough: Not enough information to be able to diagnose.  Bilateral ear pain not suggestive of infection, sensitive teeth may indicate tooth or gum infection.  Please see your Dentist now.  The longer you wait, the more serious your problem can become.

Question 9

i have painful swallowing and earache after wisdom tooth extraction, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Ear pain: Not unheard of. It was prob a tough extraction near your nerve.  Nerve has tract that runs back to ear.  Inflammed nerve takes time to heal.

Question 10

what to do about ear hurts when i pop them after wisdom tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Wait and see: It should improve with time.  If you notice it is not improving I would suggest seeing the dentist for an evaluation.
