These types of: These types of situations are best answered by a competent local Oral Surgeon or General Dentist. There are just too many variables here and we would only be able to take some educated guesses as to what's going on. Please see the dentist who removed your tooth or get a second opinion if necessary. The internet is great but not for answers to these types of situations.
