7 days after extraction - infection or just recovery
So had an extraction of a molar a week ago today
There was an underlying infection that the dentist said would clear up now extracted
I understand some soreness is to be expected, but the general area feels a bit swollen still to me and tender. Just after either confirmation that everything looks as it should about a week after extraction or if I should make a follow-up appointment.
Excuse my gross teeth!
