You need to go back and see the dentist that performed the extraction.  If there is an infection then you will need to be placed on an antibiotic.  It could also be an abscess coming from another tooth.

You should go see your dentist asap.  I used to be a dental assistant and there are illnesses in the gums that can be treated.  Infections that you may not even know are there.  If you wait and don't find out what it is, the sockets can become looser and you could risk losing your teeth.

seems like you have got infection in the periapical area of the tooth(i.e the area which surrounds the end of the root) which has spread to the bone and has resulted in bone loss which may be replaced by the granulomatous tissue (the infected tissue). this often results in the change in perception of the tissue and inflammation of the soft tissues of the oral cavity, thus leading to odd sensation. furthermore, the area you are describing i.e the palatal area doesn't contain much of muscle as the skin is attached directly to the periosteum (outer covering of the bone). thus any pus or oedema in that area is quite painful. the best treatment or it is drainage of pus. it can be done either way i.e either from making the hole in the tooth or else surgically. the root canal therapy will just make a passage for the drainage of the pus from the tooth so that all the infected pus and other tissues is removed later it can be filled so that any further infection isn't caused. but sometimes the amount of pus or the lesion is so big that it can't be removed by RCT. then we need to open up that area and treat it surgically. the exact treatment plan can be chalked out only after examination. so i advise you to consult a gud endodontologist who will be able to relieve ur pain and return the tooth to it's functional state.

Hi Becky,\n\nIt sound as though the nerve may have died in these teeth, have you had a knock/blow on these teeth?\n\nThe  'blister' above the tooth sound like a draining abcess or sinus, this is where the infected nerve tissue basically forms a boil on your gum.\n\nThe root treatment should have cured this, if it hasn't you need to get back in touch with your Dentist as the infectionmay not have settled completely.\n\nAlso ask your Dentist to explain if you don't understand something, they won't be offende and they are your teeth so you need to know !\n\nHope this helps!

it depends.  if you have darker colored skin this is normal, because of the pigmintation (yes there is pigmintation in the mouth).  has this always been there?  if so, no worries.  but if you're truely concerned, go see your dentist.

I had this before, it is probaly a minor infection. Buy some listerine mouthwash and use it, it really works, and also deep some cotton in the mouthwash and put it on the red spot for a while.

could be cavities. have you eaten anything hard lately? that could aggrevate teeth. also cold or hot drinks.

They can treat the infection normally without pulling the tooth. See a dentist if you have pain.

you have an abcess probably of some type. it could be a periodontal abcess which is basically an abcess in the gums along the tooth you should see your dentist pronto

No, it's not normal!  Go back to your dentist and get x-rayed.  If he again says it's nothing, go to your doctor.  Something is clearly wrong that is causing the area to be inflamed (the swelling).

You should go to the doctor. You might have an infection.

Oh man you need to get them out ASAP.  Seriously, its only going to get worse.  I remember one time the whole side of my face was swollen, I couldn't eat, talk, I could barely even swallow.  Go to the dentist as soon as you can, it'd be the best bet.  So yeah, the pain is normal, and it sucks.  Good luck!

You're lucky.  (considering that I had to get 5 wisdom teeth out) No joke!  The dentist were looking at my x-rays and they were calling other dentists in the office and they were looking at the x-rays laughing and then they told me I had 5 to get out... I didn't think that was possible... but I'm just so sweet that I got another I guess.\n\nThe one spot that I had 2 in got infected and ended up hurting a lot.  Hang in there with the popsicles and jello and other mushy food.  You'll get through this.  The peak of swelling should be 3-4 days then after that it should be getting less swollen.

It sounds like the gum tissue is swollen.  This is called Periocoronitis.  As the second molars finish erupting usually around 11 or 12 the gum that covers them needs to pull back and settle in behind the 2nd molar.  As it pulls back over time it changes shape and forms a flap, sometimes a pocket where foot gets stuck.  Peri-coronitis occurs in episodes as the odd bit of food gets stuck and rots in the pocket between the gum and the tooth.  Sometimes the more swollen it gets the more frequently you bite yourself and hence it drags on for some time.  \n\nThe best thing to do is to rinse it and clean it.  This is most comfortable under local anesthetic.  Usually most people learn that you need to get in there and keep the tissue clean at home.   The early you get in there in the process the faster it will resolve.  \n\nI don't recall ever seeing a 12 year old with wisdom teeth, but have seen some 14y.o. with em.

You need to see a dentist  as soon as possible.  you likely have an infection...which can spread and cause systemic illness and symptoms.  Iyou do not have a regular dentist, get a referral from family or friend, call and tell them you are in severe pain and may have an infection.  Tell them you do not have insurance and ask if you can work out a  payment plan.  E.R. would be much more expensive and they would refer you to a dentist.   Wish you the best.

Sounds like you have a possible dry socket.  In which case you'll need to go back to your dentist so he can pack it with a special medicated gauze.  He or she may also need to give you a prescription for antibiotics.  It's not uncommon for a dry socket to hurt more than the actual toothache did.  Make sure to get back in to see your dentist as soon as possible.  Preferrably before the weekend.\n\nIf your dentist is out of the office until Monday then he should have another doctor that is oncall for him.  If not then leave a message on the machine or with the answering service explaining the pain that you are in and request that the doctor call you in an antibiotic and a pain medication until he can see you on Monday.  If all attempts fail, head over to the emergency room and one of the ER docs will write you a scrip for some antibiotics and pain meds.  Hope you feel better soon... I too have had a dry socket and feel your pain.

That sounds normal.  Usually you will see a pinkish/yellowish looking gel-like substance.  This is the clot and granulation tissue forming.   This immature connective tissue will eventually completely fill in and cover the socket with new gum tissue.  Try to keep this area clean and free of food debris!  As long as you are not experiencing any pain, swelling or bleeding, I wouldn't worry!  I hope that this proves helpful!
