Locked jaw after wisdom tooth surgery?
Good morning,
I had my second wisdom tooth operation on January 31st (13 days ago), where both of my right wisdom teeth were removed under local anesthetic. I'm a 15-year-old boy. But now, for the last time, I can't open my mouth very wide. When I try, it goes as high as two fingers placed over each other (index finger and thumb). That wasn't the case with the first operation. Now I'm wondering whether I should keep an eye on it. The stitches aren't completely out yet, I think they're dissolvable, and when I open them beyond the specified radius, my upper jaw hurts a little more.
Is this normal? Should I see a doctor? What can I do about it?
Greetings

No. Not after such a long time.
Yeah, do this tomorrow. Sure is safe.
You need to press the thumb and the index finger against the lower and upper front teeth and thus gently open the jaw pieces for pieces. You can do this exercise several times a day, but not so much that it hurts. Good improvement.
Thanks for the star 🙂
I would have. It is due to the fact that one takes a stand and no longer looks properly. Chewing gums and mentos and not gentle has helped well.
