A member asked:
How long after getting your wisdom teeth out should your face be puffy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
About a week: It depends on the difficulty of the extraction but it could take up to a week, however the puffiness should begin to resolve with each passing day as well as the pain. If this is not occurring i would call your dentist.
