However, my cheek (on my jawline) is still swollen and puffy (not hard, just puffy), as are the gums around the
extraction site and the
tooth adjacent to the
extraction site. When I brush around the wound, the wound itself does not bleed, but the gums beside it do bleed (minimally) and I'm scared. I had my tooth pulled at a dental school and because the tooth was "hooked", it took 2 students and 1 OS resident over 2 hours to get the tooth out.
