Mouth Feels Fine After Wisdom Tooth Extraction...Is That Okay?

[EstelleLauren03]

This may sound so dumb, but I had my wisdom teeth removed this morning and have had almost none of the symptoms that I was warned of and it's making me nervous. In fact, I keep forgetting I even had oral surgery today... I got all four removed, three of which were impacted and the other of which I had a severe infection around earlier this year. One thing to add is that I had a pretty intense abdominal surgery when I was 13 and was up and walking same day, so I know my immune system is strong. Nonetheless, does this mean my immune system is strong or should I be concerned? TIA!

It is still early days. Worst post op pain is usually 3 days after the procedure. But if you don't have any pain, count yourself as lucky.

While it's good your mouth feels fine, some discomfort after wisdom teeth removal is normal. Monitor for swelling, pain, or other issues in the coming days.
