Itching after wisdom teeth extraction without significant pain is usually a good sign that the wound is healing. However, if there is itching and pain or bleeding after wisdom teeth removal, an infection may have occurred.
If the wound is itchy and there is no obvious pain after wisdom teeth removal, it is generally a normal phenomenon. This is because after wisdom teeth extraction, granulation tissue will gradually grow in the alveolar fossa, and the granulation tissue may stimulate the surrounding nerves in the process of growing, resulting in itching.
However, if the itchy condition is accompanied by pain and bleeding after wisdom teeth extraction, an infection may have occurred, which needs to be treated in the hospital’s stomatology department as soon as possible to avoid aggravating the infection, affecting the normal healing of the extraction wound, and prolonging the healing time.
After wisdom teeth extraction, you should pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth on time, eat a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
