Get checked: You could have an abscess or a "dry socket" but it needs to be seen by a dentist and/or a oral surgeon.

See the surgeon: See the surgeon who removed the teeth to ensure the healing is proceeding properly.

See your dentist: It may be beneficial to go back to see your dentist or surgeon, who ever performed the work and tell them what is going on. Also try flushing out the sockets, you may have a build up of food debris causing some irritation. Good luck.

See your dentist: The pain may not be related to your wisdom teeth so have your dentist check the extraction site to make sure it is healing properly. The pain could also be muscular pain a leftover effect from the extractions.

See that dentist: You may have food impacted down in the tooth sockets. See a dentist and they can provide a syringe to irrigate the sockets. Also, you may have the beginnings of an infection. See your dentist for a check up.
