If you have had dental surgery and feel that your mouth is not opening, it may be due to stitches or swelling of the surrounding tissues that are causing your mouth to open. Stitches: the gums are sewn together causing the mouth to be unable to open; swelling of the surrounding tissues: can be improved after the inflammation is eliminated.
1. Stitches: due to the deep wound of tooth extraction, bleeding, local anesthesia needs to sew the gums on both sides of the alveolar fossa, the phenomenon of inability to open the mouth, after anesthesia will be relieved.
2. Swelling of the surrounding tissues: dental surgery is also known as tooth extraction, generally in the extraction of molar teeth or wisdom teeth, due to the difficulty, more roots, more complex, so the time and difficulty increases, resulting in the soft tissues around the alveolar fossa swelling, temporary inflammation, resulting in the mouth temporarily can not open. You can’t brush your teeth and rinse your mouth for 24 hours after tooth extraction to avoid bleeding, and you can’t eat too hot food, and when the inflammation is eliminated, the phenomenon of the mouth not being able to open will improve.
It is recommended to go to a regular dental hospital for tooth extraction.
