I had a wisdom tooth removed 4 and half months ago. 2 months ago there was swelling on the jaw and i was prescribed anitbiotics and and it has happened 5 times now after that, usually lasts a week and comes back in a week. I had Amoxicillin course 2 times now and i had x-rays taken twice of the area. They cant find any problem, the bones looks like it is healing quite well. No internal signs of infection. Gums and roots look normal. Swelling feels hard and makes it difficult to open the mouth. What could it be?

Hi Champsider,
Have you consulted with an oral surgeon or just a general dentist? Have you had a dental CT scan of the area when it was swollen? Bryanna Quote:

I have seen two different dentists. I was prescribed more antibiotics. I was recommended by one of them to see a maxillofacial surgeon and get a CT scan if it gets worse. But seeing one is a lot of hassle. Is this normal?

Champsider,
No it is not normal. General dentists are not very knowledgeable about your situation. Please take their advise and see a maxillofacial oral surgeon. Bring or have sent your pre op and post op xrays of that area. Bryanna Quote:
