Don't worry, you probably do not have acute liver failure. One of the most common causes of dark colored urine is dehydration. Certain foods and medications can also result in a darker color. If you aren't normally hydrated you may also develop kidney stones. Hydrate and see you physician if the pain persists.

The Dentist or Oral Surgeon that did your extraction is responsible for your post-surgical care. He/she may want to refer you to your Physician or a medical facility for evaluation. Dark urine may indicate dehydration. Other than not hydrating properly after your surgery, Dark urine, extracted tooth, and your prescribed medications, are not related.
