Swelling in gums two weeks after extraction..is it still supposed to be?

It depends: The difficulty of the extraction and the strict following of the post extraction instruction cause variations in the healing time. I strongly encourage you to see your dentist and make sure there are no complications.

NO: Two weeks in a health patient, the area should have healed. Have it re-evaluated by your dentist.
