Answer:

POST OP SWELLING USUALLY DOES OCCUR AFTER EXTRACTION, MORESO ON THAT TOOTH COS IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT MORE OF A TRAUMATIC EXTRACTION.

---

some are not as traumatic to pull, the root done go as deep or they are weaker, or not as far up in the jawbone.

but they all cause cavitations. go to a biologic dentist and get them cleaned properly.

CAVITATIONS

A cavitation is an unhealed hole in the jawbone caused by an extracted tooth [or a root canal or an injury to a tooth]. Since wisdom teeth are the most commonly extracted teeth, most cavitations are found in the wisdom tooth sites. Please see the graphic and photo below to get a glimpse of what may be in your mouth and the effects it is having. The photo and diagram demonstrate the destructive and pathologic consequence of a routine tooth extraction. Dentists are taught in dental school that once they pull a tooth, the patient's body heals the resulting hole in the jawbone. However, approximately 95% of all tooth extractions result in a pathologic defect called a cavitation. The tooth is attached to the jawbone by a periodontal ligament which is comprised of "jillions" of microscopic fibers. One end of each fiber is attached to the jawbone and the other end of the fiber is attached to the tooth root. When a tooth is extracted, the fibers break midway between the root and the bone. This leaves the socket (the area where the root was anchored in the bone) coated with periodontal ligament fibers.
