Rick Iskandar, BDSc (Hons) · Answer

Hi Rational8762,Unfortunately wisdom teeth have the highest rate of post-operative discomfort of all teeth. I would encourage you to see your dentist to ensure there are no complications after the extraction, however it is not uncommon for the pain to continue for 9 days or more.
I'm sure you've been briefed, but regular rinsing with warm, salty water is best to keep the socket moist and flush out any accumulated debris that may be slowing down the healing process.
Best of luck! hope you're feeling better soon!
