Normal: It does not appear to be dry socket... your pain would be quite severe and you would have a foul smell. Pain following wisdom tooth extraction can sometimes last for two weeks. Give it some time.

Had 4 wisdom teeth out + bone graft in the top 2 teeth on May 24 (so nearly 2 weeks ago). I've noticed that where the top two teeth used to be, it feels like there's in my cheeks. Is this normal with stitches/healing?
