Wisdom teeth extraction, especially the lower teeth, is more painful than the upper teeth because of their deeper roots. It is normal to have bloodshots in the saliva within 24 hours after tooth extraction. When it comes to dental treatment, if the bleeding exceeds 24 hours, it is considered to be infected, and you need to see a dentist. In addition, facial swelling will occur within 3 days after tooth extraction. If there is no fever, you can apply cold compress within 24 hours of tooth extraction and hot compress 24 hours later. The numbness of the lips and tongue after tooth extraction is the follow-up effect of the anesthetic. Don’t worry too much. It will recover slowly after 6 hours without hurting the facial nerve. If the facial nerve is injured, the corners of the mouth will appear skewed immediately.
