Is it normal to have facial swelling three months after wisdom teeth surgery? How can I reduce swelling?

About 3 months ago, I had my impacted wisdom teeth out, as well as a dental implant put in, during the same surgery. The strange thing is that the facial swelling went away after a week, which was expected, but it came back! I'm not sure exactly when, maybe a week or two after it went away. Now it's almost 3 months after the operation and my face is still noticeably swollen.





I talked to my dentist about it, who at first didn't see me but just phoned in a prescription for an antibiotic (he thought it must have been an infection) which I took, but which didn't help. After an appointment with him, he said he was confused because there was no sign of infection at all, and that he wasn't sure why I had the swelling. Later, I saw another dentist who said that the swelling was normal and that I just had to wait for it to go away.





I'm confused... Is it really normal to have swelling 3 months after wisdom teeth surgery? Could it be something else? Is there a way to reduce the swelling?

No, it's not normal! Go back to your dentist and get x-rayed. If he again says it's nothing, go to your doctor. Something is clearly wrong that is causing the area to be inflamed (the swelling).
Reply:i don't think that is normal i had my teeth out then about 2 weeks later it was swollon again and there was a peice of tooth still in there...go back and have them xray it....good luck
Reply:Hell no! You need to go back to the dentist. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled at the same time and it only took 2 weeks for the swelling to go down. Your dentist needs to go back in your gums and get the the tooth or teeth he left in your mouth.
