How Long Will My Face Be Swollen After A Nerve Removal In The Back Tooth?
I went to the dentist to remove the nerve in my back tooth on the right side. after a few hours the numbness wore off but I started feeling pain in my cheek. 2 days later the right side of my face is swollen like a puffer fish. I am taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine but how long is this going to take before I look normal again

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have undergone dental treatment now you have swelling and pain dont worry , you do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Consult your dentist and go for IOPA xray , if there is any Periapical infection then go for Re- Rct .
Hope this will help you.
