Infection after Wisdom Teeth Removal: What to Do?

Hey, I had complications with mine but it was many many years ago. The best thing you can probably do is increase your intake of water and do salt water rinses occasionally. Don't swish rough, just like tilt your head to make it wash over. Just be super sure to watch for a fever. Fever is when you need to be more concerned. Call your primary care doctor's office and ask to speak to an on-call nurse or call your local urgent care (that's in your insurance). Like a CareSpot, if you have those. Watch your body and wait for advice from your oral care team unless you start to feel sick and feverish. If you have an infection, don't panic, it's not too uncommon and they know what they're doing. 😊 Stay strong, you got this.
