How to remove a denture stuck to swollen bottom jaw?
Hello doctor,
I am three days postop from a full mouth extraction with immediate dentures. My upper dentures are wonderful. But my bottom jaw has swollen very badly and I cannot get my bottom denture off. It is stuck due to swelling. I am so afraid of infection. What can I do other than ice and heat to get swelling down so that I can clean my denture and suture? Bottom jaw has swollen and is preventing bottom denture from release. I am currently on Percocet, Ibuprofen, and Amoxicillan. Please help.

Is it normal to still have cheekbone pain a month after wisdom tooth removal?
Hello doctor,
I had my lower wisdom tooth removed a month ago. It was infected and they said they had to break a bone and take it out. I had two stitches removed post 10 days of my surgery. Still, I have the sensitivity and light pain in the cheekbone area. Is this normal to have? How long will it take to cure?
