Infection after wisdom teeth removal
Hi I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed over 2 weeks ago. I was put on antibiotics to prevent infection and everything seemed fine until I stopped taking the antibiotics. A couple days after stopping the antibiotics I developed an infection gums swollen and my left check swollen. I went back to the dental office and confirmed and the infection and was put on another antibiotics which I am still currently taking. The swelling of the cheek went away after 2 days but my gums are red in between a couple of my teeth on the left side. The teeth are not directly beside the wisdom teeth so I am not sure if this is related. To me it looks like gingivitis which is strange since I have been super careful with my oral health and have never had a problem with this before. Or is this a sign that the antibiotics are not fully working on the infection.
