Due to wisdom tooth trouble, i can't open my mouth more than what would accomodate one finger. the dentist prescribed antibiotics and after 2 days, the ache subsided but still can't open my mouth normally?

Trismus: What you are likely experiencing is trismus, or limited jaw opening due to infection. This is serious and you should follow up with your doctor right away. This is especially true if you have a fever, facial swelling, any difficulty breathing or swallowing. Less commonly it is due to muscle spasm but in your case more likely abscess. It commonly occurs with masticatortry space infections.

Next?: When does your dentist want to see you next? Is he or she an oral surgeon? If after two days on antibiotics things are not significantly better, i would see an oral surgeon.

Also: It could also be that you have a muscle spasm or problem in the jaw joint that prevents you from opening. See you dentist asap. The longer the limited opening is there the more difficult it is to treat.

See the dentist: You may want to return to the dentist to check your progressing. Sometimes, infected wisdom teeth can cause the jaw muscles to spasm causing limited opening. If the opening is not improving, then the wisdom tooth will need to be removed. Good luck.
