Help i had an abscessed tooth pulled. is it possible to get an abscess with no tooth there?

Not likely...: Assuming every bit of the tooth was removed, the body should be able to heal itself. However, there may be times when the body needs help. In these cases an antibiotic may be recommended. When a root breaks and is not removed then the potential for an abscess increases.

Dry socket: There are risks associated with teeth removal like with any other surgery. The dry socket is the most common complication that characterized by dull, aching pain and a bad smell or taste coming from the empty tooth socket. See your dentist for post-op evaluation and dry socket treatment if needed.
