See: Please consult with the dentist who actually extracted your tooth. It is his/her responsibility for post op evaluation and aftercare until healing is adequate.

Yellowish slough: You may have disturbed what was a normally forming clot. Please check in with the Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon. He/she may want to see you for a post-surgical reevaluation.
