What Causes Sores In The Mouth After Extraction Of Tooth?

i had my wisdom teeth removed about a week ago. I never really had too much pain in the sockets, however, about 2 days after, i developed sores in my mouth, none of which are too close to the extraction cite. I have two in the front of my mouth and one under my tongue. Talking and eating have been difficult, however, today I was able to speak without pain. Is this a sign that they are getting better? If so, how long until I can eat again?

These sores are because of instrumentation during extraction procedures. Try applying oral anaesthetic gel like dentogel or mucopain. These ulcers will get milder within a week.as soon as u dont have pain you can start normal diet. Applying these gels before having food will also help.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to consult the concerned Dentist and get the healing socket checked, chnaces of dry socket formation could be there, take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics, take multivitamin suplements, maintain a good oral hygiene....


Hope you find this as helpful,

Take care!
