Dentist: Return to your dentist. You may have an abscess or other infection at the site of The extraction which can readily be treated. Good luck!

FOOD TRAP: If ether the top or bottom wisdom tooth was extracted it leaves an area where food particles can accumulate . Brushing doesn't always remove the food so use a small brush to get back in that area. Consider buying a Waterpik which can flush out the food particles in that area as well as your gums.
