Hi Wendy,
Thanks for posting the picture. It would be best to get in to see the oral surgeon as soon as you can so he can evaluate it as you may have an infection.
Let us know how you're doing.

QUOTE=WendyShmendy;1105692]I had my upper right wisdom tooth (that was impacted) removed, and the molar next to it removed as well. Extracting the molar took about 20 minutes for them to remove it, while the wisdom tooth took about 7ish or so minutes.
It's now day 5 since the extractions and I'm in a lot of pain, the swelling around the area is intense, and the smell/taste in my mouth is so gross.
I attached a picture, I hope it shows up and is clear. What I'm wondering is if this looks normal, shouldn't the swelling and pain have gone down by now?[/QUOTE]
