After having uppers teeth pulled yesterday, 2 surgically. i have a headache and a rapid heart rate between 95-102. does this mean i've developed an infection?

Not necessarily: You could have an infection, but it wouldn't likely show up yet. It's normal to have pain, swelling, jaw soreness and some bleeding/seepage at this point. Dehydration would cause headache and faster heart rate. Hydrate well and eat healthy food that does not injure your wound area; take your anti-inflammatories/medications; read your post-op info sheet and follow-up w/your surgeon as needed.
