Hematoma: Very common post-extraction complication. With or without treatment, a hematoma will be present for 7 to 14 days. If concerned, see your dentist/surgeon.

Call your dentist: After surgery, there's a post op appointment that you shouldn't miss. If it was done, it is better to call your dentist and notify about your condition to make sure that there is no secondary infection.
