What causes pain in gums and pus formation after tooth extraction?
Patient: I had a 2nd upper molar pulled on friday.  It is still sore around the gums and it looks like it has green pus.  Is this normal.  i have been taking ibuprophen and it is still just a little pain no throbing.  I also had a liver clot.  Does this have any affect?  Or am I healing normal. Doctor: Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM, I have gone through your query, as you have undergone extraction now you have discharge it can be due to infection in socket . Consult dentist and go for Radiographic investigations done to evaluate the diagnosis . Do betadine gargle twice daily . Hope this will help you.
