Disappeared Dimple On Cheek After Removal Of Premolars. Help
Hello, I had my premolars taken out 2 days ago for my braces and my dimple on the right cheek has disappeared. If I apply pressure on that cheek, I'll feel a little bit of pain and when I smile my right cheek feels fat. So, when I smile my left dimple shows but on my right cheek I can see a little bump instead of a dent. Please help me! :(

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your worry but no need to worry about this the dimple will returns soon, because of the molar extraction there could be some swelling over your cheek and it will take some time to resolved the swelling once the swelling disappeared then the dimple will come back again, have nice day.
