A member asked:
If i have jaw hairline fracture after wisdom removal will i notice it such as a lot of pain and swelling, or can it be so subtle that i don't know?

Sure: but then, if there is a fracture that is likely to heal and not need further interventions, what would it matter?

If you feel any kind: of pain, it's time to go back to your dentist and have it re-examined. if it's not noticeable, and there's no swelling or pain, it means you are healing normally from your injury. Dental alignment of teeth is important to have checked post trauma, as it affects your chewing, and bite.
