I am 19 year old male, undergone a mild teeth extraction, now I have problems with opening my mouth. How can I cure this?

Question

If the extraction was done recently, it could be the effect of the local anaesthesia administration if a lower tooth was extracted. There is no reason to worry. You can try warm compress and warm salt water rinse (provided 24 hours has passed since extraction). Also visit your dentist, who will decide whether muscle relaxant is needed.

Hi, the most important thing is to rinse with warm water and salt in it about 6 to 7 times daily. Eat your medicines diligently without fail, if there's still restricted mouth opening, then see your dentist again for the same, he may prescribe you some medicine which helps in the opening of mouth.

Advise full mouth opening, ballooning exercise & side to side movement of the jaw. Wrap 25 to 30 ice-cream sticks, make a bundle, put it between upper & lower front teeth for 15 minutes thrice a day increase 1 sticks each day.
