Who extracted tooth?: Call the provider who extracted the tooth for a post-op follow up.

Treating Dentist: The practitioner that knows or situation best is the one that extracted your tooth and prescribed your medication. He/she is responsible for your post-surgical care, and can best determine if you need additional medication and/or additional treatment.
