Wisdom Teeth and Infection syptoms(symptoms)

by Suzy'Q, Aug 24, 2005 12:00AM

After Wisodom Teeth removal, how do you know if you have
an infection. What are the symptoms??
Is a white clot in or near the wound an infection?

There are a number of symptoms that would indicate a post op infection. Pain and swelling are the most common. The white clot doesn't seem to be a problem--this maybe part of the healing process. To be sure make a visit to the doctor that did the extraction.
