Hello,
I had my right bottom and too wisdom teeth removed on Saturday (It is now Wednesday). The first few days I was in a lot of pain and too swollen to see much. However, I felt like I was biting my cheek or gums whenever I tried to chew.
Today, I noticed that the tooth next to where my bottom wisdom teeth was is partially covered. I can't even tell if it's covered by my swollen cheek or swollen gums but I cant even brush half of it. Is this normal or should I go back to the dentist?
 
The swelling is worse on the 3rd or 4th day, and can last up to a week. I would wait until the swelling goes down before you worry about gums covering the molar.
