Reason For Severe Tooth Ache?

Hi,
about a month ago i had a really bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. He removed my wisdom tooth as it was growing sideways in the cheek and caused a really bad infection.
the last few days my cheek is hurting and it feels exactly the same as when i had that infection. It also looks similar. It is really tender and it hurts when i chew. It looks like it has a pussy centre.
I'm worried cause this is the second time I've had it in a month. Is this something serious?

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
It shouldn't be serious. You should visit a dentist and get proper oral and radiological examination done of the concerned area.
Till then you can do Betadine rinses 3-4 times a day.
Hope my answer will help you.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have undergone wisdom tooth extraction dont worry this can be due to infection in socket .

Consult dentist for irrigation and zinc oxide eugenol pack it will give you relief.

Hope this will help you.
