Oozing from extracted wisdom tooth place Foul odor and taste. Need help!
Post-Wisdom tooth extraction
Oozing
Infection (?)
Help wanted
So I recently had 3 wisdom teeth removed, all went well according to my dentist, but he said he had a difficult time with the lower right tooth due to bone density(?) so anyways, it’s been 4 days, I’m not expecting to be completely healed yet, but I have noticed a foul taste and odor coming from my lower tooth that was extracted. I went back today to find it if t was infected but he said it’s normal to hve some oozing coming from it? (If it’s normal then why aren’t the other 3 doing the same) he also put me on an antibiotic and new pain pills because it has made my face swell 3X more than originally. Anyways, long story short, I’m wondering if maybe my gums really are infected, I can’t go five minutes without tasting the disgusting taste of the plus, and I have to constantly put a towel or napkin in my mouth to absorb it.... any help or advice on what to do?
