Good day,
I have a question about a wisdom tooth. I had it extracted on Monday and I am still a little swollen, and there is something white visible around the area where the tooth was. I would like to know whether it is sensible to go skiing now with the area like this, and what to do if something is wrong or whether it will heal by itself over time.
Thank you very much for your answer, Martin.

Dear Sir/Madam!

Extraction of a wisdom tooth can be a relatively difficult procedure and carries corresponding consequences. Pain and swelling may accompany wound healing for quite some time. We advise cooling the area with cold compresses, taking anti-inflammatory drugs (Naklofen) and, in the event of wound infection (swollen local lymph nodes, elevated body temperature...), also taking antibiotics. If the signs are systemic and not only local, I advise against physical exertion.

Have a nice day!
