A member asked:
Should try to squeeze the pus out of my wisdom tooth removal site?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, see your dentist who is trained and knows exactly what to do and treat such situations. You shouldn't have pus, should be on antibiotics if you truly are and at most, rinse gently with lukewarm salt water. Call your dentist, explain the situation and ask for advice.
