Surgery: Requires recovery. The amount of trauma from having your wisdom teeth removed varies widely. I'm not sure how to interpret "go" but it should resolve over the next week or 2. If it is still there after a month, get it checked out. I'm presuming there are no other symptoms so if you have pain or other concerns get an evaluation sooner..

See surgeon: Although the other side will probably resolve in time, it's important that you call and speak to the surgeon who removed your teeth just to make sure it's not an infection or something else that requires treatment. After care is the responsibility of the dentist who should follow the surgical areas until adequate healing is established.
