Follow up : I suggest you follow up with the oral surgeon who removed your wisdom teeth. You may have a "dry socket" or infection that requires immediate treatment.

Needs examination: You should give the dentist who extracted your teeth a call for a follow up exam. You may have a dry socket or an infection, or a pice of bone, or it may be nothing and it's just taking longer to heal. Hard to say exactly what the cause is without visualization. All the best...
