Hi all.

I had a wisdom (lower left) extracted on Wednesday. It was extremely painful and the dentist really had a difficult time getting it out. It was huge! I went straight to bed after the extraction and slept for around 4 hours as he told me I can't eat or drink anything and should just go take a nap.

It's 2 days later and the swelling is becoming worse. I took a peek this morning and there seems to be some black-ish material on the wound. I read on another page that this is normal but should I be worried? Should I go back? And how long should it take for the swelling to go away completely?

Thanks in advance.
