<s>[INST] I had 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out 5 days ago. The pain is mostly gone but I can't extend my jaw very far. Without any discomfort I can stick two finger tips (middle and pointer finger one on top of the other) through my teeth. I tried doing jaw exercises the other day and they hurt. How long does it take the jaw to heal? [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The limited mouth opening could be because of the inflammatory response to the bone cutting and the soft tissue injury. Nothing to worry, it will return back tonormal in 5-7days after extraction, do saline gargling and continue the antiinflammatory drugs.I hope my answer will help you, take care. </s>
