Food impaction: Food can easily become lodged in the area where the wisdom tooth was removed. If this is associated with increased ache pain, it may be a dry socket infection developing. See your dentist if these symptoms don't get better.

Possible: Are you still rinsing your mouth? You should be feeling better y now and since you are not it is important that you call the dentist or oral surgeon that did your extractions. You may have some food debris stuck in the healing socket and this can cause the pain, and possible infection.

Go to oral surgeon: Make an emergency appointment and get back to your oral surgeon immediately.

See your dentist: As with any surgery, removal of your wisdom teeth carries some risks. If complications developed, your dentist or oral surgeon will discuss appropriate treatment options with you.
