I got my two bottom impacted wisdom teeth out over 6 weeks ago. The surgery was harrowing but I had no pain afterwards and swelling only lasted a little over a week. Last night I went to bed feeling a little bit of tenderness in my left wisdom tooth area and awoke today with a small, hardish lump in my cheek and swelling on my left side. I scheduled a dentist appointment, but I'm freaking out, does anybody know what this is and if it will go away?
Lump in cheek 6 weeks after Wisdom Tooth Surgery?
Maybe you just bit on your cheek while chewing.
Don't freak out, but it is good to have your lump checked by a dentist.

Reply:Go to the E.R. Never try to diagnose or treat yourself
Reply:sounds like you have an abcess you should seek medical attention right away abcess can lead to death
Reply:It's good you're going to the dentist. It might be an infection. If it is, they will probably just rinse out the infected area and prescribe antibiotics.
"Swelling that re-appears after a few weeks is an indication of infection caused by a bone or tooth fragment still in the wound and should be treated immediately."
