Tooth extraction: Return to the surgeon to have the extraction site examined. You may have a piece of bone working its way out, or the area is just healing slowly and you are still feeling the edge of the extraction socket. The bad breath may be due to debris in the socket, or from other areas of your mouth. In any case, you should be seeing your dentist for follow-up care.

Bone: See your dentist asap. It sometimes happens after tooth extraction and is easily cured by removing the piece of bone. I would also have the dentist check the extraction site to be sure it is not infected or that food is trapped as both can cause bad breath. See you dentist.

Bone pain: You are having a complication to the surgery and may have an infection. Call your dentist who did the extraction to see you concerning this problem. You should be seen as soon as possible. If you cannot see your dentist then call your doctor to check you for infection.
