What causes headache post wisdom tooth removal?
Patient: my son had 6 wisdom teeth removed and his 2 eye teeth exposed - the left one was under a lot of bone - they forgot a tool at their other office and so he woke up during the surgery, he has had headaches since the surgery that are worse with light and sound.  today the oral surgeon said that there was some inflamed tissue on the left eye tooth site and is going to flush the area - but doesn't think that is the reason for the headaches, no nausua Doctor: Thanks for contacting healthcare magic. You mention that you have headach after removal of wisdom tooth that may be because of over strain of muscle during treatment. Some portion of tooth remain in bone lead to this type of problems. Take one x ray to recheck any tooth portion still present or not.More amount of bone cutting also lead to swelling and muscle strain.You are not mention which wisdom tooth removed maxilary or mandible.In lower jaw means mandible wisdom tooth removed than chanses of dry socket more.In dry socket warm saline irrigation and idoform paste helpful to prevent infection. But you are not mention a intensity and duration of pain.Consent a oromaxillofacial surgeon for further treatment. I hope my guidance helpful to you.. Take care. Thank you.
