A member asked:

Is it normal to have mild stinging pain 5 days after wisdom tooth extraction?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Evaluation: Pain should be investigated. By day 5 healing should result in gradually diminishing soreness. Please see the Dentist or Oral Surgeon who treated you to evaluate.
