Is the pain I'm experiencing after my wisdom tooth extraction due to the extraction site, the canker sore, or my gums, and why does my jaw bone also hurt when touched?

Sakit Pagkatapos ng Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Ang sakit na nararanasan mo ay malamang mula sa extraction site mismo, at ang jaw bone pain na nararamdaman mo kapag hinawakan ay normal na bahagi ng healing process pagkatapos ng bunot. Ang canker sore ay maaaring mag-contribute sa discomfort, pero ang primary source ng pain ay ang surgical site at ang surrounding bone na nag-undergo ng trauma.

Bakit Masakit ang Jaw Bone Kapag Hinawakan

  • Ang bone trauma mula sa extraction ay nagdudulot ng inflammatory response na tumatagal ng ilang araw hanggang linggo, kaya normal na masakit ang jaw bone kapag pinipindot 1
  • Ang peak ng postoperative pain, swelling, at trismus (difficulty opening mouth) ay nangyayari sa unang 2-3 days pagkatapos ng extraction, at unti-unting bumababa sa loob ng 7-14 days 1
  • Ang edad ay isang factor - mas mataas ang risk ng complications at mas matagal ang healing time sa mga edad 25 years old pataas 1

Paano Malaman Kung Normal Lang o May Problema

Normal na healing:

  • Masakit ang extraction site at jaw bone kapag hinawakan o pinindot
  • Gradual na pagbaba ng pain sa loob ng 3-7 days
  • Mild swelling na unti-unting bumababa
  • Walang lagnat, walang severe na panginginig, walang pagod na sobra 2

Red flags na kailangan bumalik sa dentist:

  • Alveolar osteitis (dry socket): Severe pain na lumalala pagkatapos ng 2-3 days, exposed bone na walang granulation tissue sa extraction socket, incidence ay 0.3-35% 1
  • Lagnat, severe fatigue, o shivering - signs ng systemic infection 2
  • Pus o foul-smelling discharge mula sa extraction site
  • Swelling na lumalaki instead na bumababa pagkatapos ng 3 days
  • Numbness o tingling sa lips o tongue na tumatagal ng higit 24 hours - possible nerve injury 1

Tungkol sa Canker Sore

  • Ang canker sore ay maaaring nag-develop dahil sa trauma sa soft tissues during extraction o dahil sa stress response ng katawan
  • Ito ay mag-heal on its own sa loob ng 7-14 days
  • Kung ang pain ay localized sa canker sore area at hindi sa extraction site, mas malamang na ang canker sore ang source ng discomfort

Immediate Management

  • Pain control: Continue ang prescribed pain medications ng dentist mo
  • Oral hygiene: Gentle rinsing with warm salt water (1/2 teaspoon salt sa 1 cup warm water) 2-3 times daily, pero huwag mag-vigorous rinsing sa unang 24 hours 3
  • Avoid: Smoking, straw use, vigorous rinsing - lahat ng ito ay maaaring mag-trigger ng dry socket
  • Cold compress: Sa unang 24-48 hours para sa swelling
  • Soft diet: Iwasan ang hard, crunchy, o hot foods

Kailan Dapat Bumalik sa Dentist

  • Kung ang pain ay lumalala instead na bumababa pagkatapos ng 2-3 days
  • Kung may signs ng infection (lagnat, severe swelling, pus)
  • Kung may persistent numbness o tingling
  • Kung hindi mo makontrol ang pain kahit may pain medications

Common pitfall: Maraming patients ay nag-aantay ng matagal bago bumalik sa dentist kahit may signs na ng complications. Ang early intervention ay mas madaling i-treat at mas mabilis ang recovery 2.
