Is it normal for it to hurt when smiling when i just had my wisdom teeth removed?

Yes: Muscles are pulled and stretched during the procedure. Speak to your surgeon if it persists.

Yes: It's not uncommon to open wide or for certain facial movements during the healing phase. It can last for a week or so, sometimes longer depending on how invasive the surgery was. If you have any concerns, consult your dentist.

Yes: Yup. It will get better over several days.

Yes, but: Yes, but it depends upon post operative swelling, and each procedure is different and each individual responds differently. If it is an easy removal with little to no swelling, then smiling the next day or so should feel just fine.
