Post Tooth Extraction

[callmejp]

I recently had 2 teeth pulled that were broken for over ! year they were BADLY abcessed
and caused excruciatin pain.

I had them extracted 4 day's ago, I am now in worse pain and running a fever.
When I look in the socket the middle looks yellow (Puss Maybe?)


This discussion is related to prolonged pain after tooth extraction.

It's so frustrating when the pain continues after the surgery. I had a similar problem years ago, so I was nervous about my most recent surgery. I just moved to NYC and so I had to find a new dentist. A friend recommended 212 Smiling Dentistry, and I glad I heeded her advice.
Before the surgery I mentioned my previous experiences and the doctor said that he would give me a sheet with after-care instructions. I followed them to the letter and it really helped. They have the list on their website at http://www.212smiling.com/after-care.php. I did all the things carefully and my next visit was a breeze.

From what you mention, its either a dry socket or the infection from the abcess did not get resolved.  You need to go back to your dentist for a follow up evaluation.

Going back to your dentist to have a follow-up exam is advised.
