Lower two wisdom teeth removed 2 weeks today. gums still tender... is this normal?stitches seem to be dissolving now. slowly moving to harder foods

It is normal: The pain and discomfort that follows wisdom tooth extraction up to 3 weeks is just a normal part of the healing process. If you have any concerns about your healing call your surgeon for post-op appointment.

Normal: Tender is not unusual. Frank pain should be investigated. If you are uncomfortable call the Oral Surgeon that treated you to make sure everything is OK.
