Should I Be Worried For A Pus Filled Tooth Extracted Site?
I had my wisdom teeth extracted 3months ago. I have no pain, just a feeling like my bottom hole is still healing. Today I ran my finger along my gum line towards the back hole and puss came out of the hole. Is this anything to worry about since there is no pain, swelling, or fever? The tooth that was extracted was impacted and cut from the jaw bone.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
The symptoms you have mentioned suggests that there is infection in the tooth removal socket .
I would advice you to visit your dentist and get it checked for the removal of the pus from the socket and inititate the healing process.
An antibiotic dose will also be required .Do warm saline gargling.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
