I had an abcessed tooth (one of my back teeth).. The infection was so bad the dentist had to pull the tooth and give me antiobiotics.. I had stitches put in but room was left for the pus to drain (gross I know).. Well it has been 9 days since the tooth has been pulled. The stitches have come out and I feel no pain. But, there is still some drainage ( I can see it as well). Also it makes my breath bad... Is this the normal process for healing an abcess? Or, is this still very serious and I have to go see my dentist again?
