A member asked:

Had wisdom teeth extracted almost 2 months ago, swelling just came back about a week and a half ago with a slight yellowish white discharge. plz help?

See surgeon: Experiencing swelling and discharge two months following the removal of wisdom teeth is unlikely. You may be having another issue in the same area. It is possible to have a small spot of inflammation, soreness, and white-yellow color. Could be a splinter of bone floating out. No matter, you need to call the surgeon or your dentist to have them look at it. Good luck.

This is not normal: If you’re experience discharge 2 month after wisdom tooth surgery, I suggest you visit your dentist or oral surgeon ASAP to rule out underlying complications. Do not delay.

Phone Call: Help is just a phone call away... to your surgeon. You may have an unresolved infection or a piece of bone. Best course of action is to get the area examined.

Seek help: Post-surgical care is part of the service you have already paid for. Call the General Dentist or Oral Surgeon that did your extractions. Once dental cause ruled out, which is probable, then see your General Physician oran ENT.
