How To Deal With A Erupting Pus In The Mouth After The Extraction Of The Wisdom Teeth?

I got my wisdom teeth out about close to a month ago just today my right bottom one swelled up and hurt so badly all of a sudden all this pus erupted from it , it was gross but I kept the said pocket open with a q-tip until it had drained out then I rinsed with salt water was that the right thing to do?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth month ago now you feel like pus from right lower tooth , dont worry it can be due to periodontal problem may be due to formation of Periodontal abscess

For this you should visit dentist and go for investigations done and if problem is of periodontal abscess then go for Scaling and Currettage ,

As you asked for warm salt gargle yes you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Consult dentist as early as possible

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health

Regards
