A member asked:
What are reasons why would i have an abscess after my molar was pulled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: May have had an abscess that detached and remained behind when tooth was extracted. Possibly poor healing allowed infection to migrate in if the blood clot was lost too soon - dry socket.
