The removal of one or two teeth is a routine procedure. Extracting multiple teeth sometimes requires that the jawbone be reshaped  to prepare for a denture. You may experience the following after a multiple tooth extraction procedure. The first two days, you may experience some swelling both inside the mouth and possibly around the eye as well. The area around your eye may also become discolored, which may be alleviated by a warm compress. The muscles near the extraction site may become sore after surgery, causing a sore throat. This is normal as well as the corners of your mouth becoming dry and cracked from being stretched open during surgery. In some cases, you will have a follow up appointment with your dentist within 48 hours after surgery to discuss any post surgery symptoms that you are experiencing.
