Q. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed a week ago today. I have no pain at all but my left side of cheeck at bottom still feels a bit stiff round the jaw. This tooth was severely decayed before extraction. Is this normal? Also after looking into my mouth with a torch ive noticed something dark or blackish around that area, its not on the extraction site itself but to the side of it near the gums cheeck side, what could this possibly be? Im worried about dry socket or a hole of some sort. I still have the dissovable stitches.,
