What Could Swelling And Yellowing Of Cheeks After Multiple Dental Anesthesia Shots?
Hi
I was at the dentist yesterday and I required local anaesthetic. However the first two attempts never worked nothing happened so the dentist injected a third time. However after it wore off I am now in a lot of pain. It was a simple filling so it's not that. I have a swollen cheek and it is looking slightly yellow within my mouth. The swelling is so bad inside I can't see my upper back teeth. Is this a common side effect or simply swelling?. I cannot open my mouth fully and it's painful

Hi... Normally after injection there pain at site of injection . its normal . but if your swelling is much and if you have tremendous pain then I would suggest you you to meet your dentist .. Chances of infection or some other complication might be . so have check up by your dentist.
