I had my wisdom tooth removed two days ego, and by the second day I have really bad breath?

I looked at the extractions site in my mouth, and it seems to be closed, and I’m now 99% pain free. So I don’t think its dry socket but, my breath is worse then usual. Is this just a side effect of the extraction of an infected tooth?

Yes. keep taking the antibiotics you should have been given and everything should be ok. Its not dry socket or you would be in severe pain.

It’s a side affect- it happens to almost everyone! If you had dry socket, you would already be back at the dentist/surgeon because of severe pain. The bad breath probably comes from “old” blood that is left over.
