Early May I had 4 teeth extracted. 2 upper wisdoms and 2 upper molars.
All went well. But, today the sockets still haven't healed 100%. The top left socket is almost healed but it's giving me a dull pain. I thought it was the tooth next to it causing the problem but it appears to look and feel ok.
I've also noticed a horrible smell. If I put my finger on the extraction site my finger will smell horrid. Like an infection smell. I can also taste it sometimes. But, there appears to be no visible infection. No swelling. No pain except the dull ache. On a pain scale it's about a 2 or 3.
I've had infections in the past. This doesn't feel like one. But I know it likely is.
I'll head down to the dentist once the weekend is over but for now I just have to suffer it.
Is it possible that the extraction site could have developed an infection? And how would it cause a dull pain if there's no root?
