Is it normal to have bad tasting/smelling liquid after having a tooth removed?!
Question: Is it normal to have bad tasting/smelling liquid after having a tooth removed?
I had 2 teeth removed on Friday and yesterday i felt a small amount of liquid come from the bottom hole(I got the teeth removed 4th from the back on the top and bottom). I don't really have any pain and the area isn't red or inflamed and it appears to be healing well. The liquid is clear and just has a bad taste and smell.
Im going back to my dentist on Thursday to have another 2 teeth removed (Im getting braces hence all the teeth being yanked from my jaw to make room) Should i carry on rinsing with warm salt water to keep it clean?
Thanks (:

Been there done that with four teeth extractions and braces! Yeah I think its normal for it to ooze a little. I had a tooth pulled a couple of months ago and there was a slight smell and funny colour where the tooth had been. Just carry on with the salt water rinse and you'll be fine.
It'll all be worth it when you see your new smile for the first time!
sounds like it might jsut be a bit of puss, not to much to worry about, but be sure and tell the dentist.
Yes, by all means, keep rinsing.
