ORAL SURGERY : Infection after tooth extraction

A person might also develop an infection in the socket after the surgical extraction of the tooth. 

This usually happens about 2 – 4 days afterwards and one knows of it from the deep-seated throbbing pain, the bad breath that the person emits and the perpetual unpleasant taste left behind in the mouth.
