I had oral surgery for extraction of lower impacted wisdom tooth last week. Doctor also extracted upper wisdom tooth of that teeth. Today my stitches are removed. They said that you can start eating normal foods. But I can't open my mouth fully. When can I start eating hard foods? They said healing was proper. How many days it will take to disappear the wound which is formed due to incision.

Advise wide mouth opening exercise 100 times per day & side to side movement for the jaw muscles. Bundling ice cream sticks & thrusting the bundle between your upper & lower back tooth region. Increase ice cream stick 1 by 1 every day to increase mouth opening. 1 month for complete open wound healing.
