Unfresh feeling in mouth post extraction

2017-11-01 17:39:55
I had an upper molar tooth extraction 4 days back. Until yesterday I was very comfortable, but since this afternoon I’m feeling a slight pinch when I smile wide or talk too much. Also unfresh around the extraction spot and at times a salty taste. Is there anything to worry about?

it might be a dry socket (infection of the extracted socket due loss of blood clot) visit an oral surgeon for further treatment...

Make sure you keep the area clean by rinsing your mouth after every meal. Do hot water gargles with salt a few times a day. If there is any sudden increase in pain or any swelling then consult your dentist for a check up as that could indicate infection
