Extraction wounds take a week or ten days to heal uneventfully. In case of an infection, the healing gets prolonged. Extraction site infection is considered to be a late complication of dental extraction. The presence of debris or smoking during the healing phase can cause infection. Symptoms of infection post-extraction are pain, swelling, fever, sensitivity to hot or cold food, bleeding from the site, foul-smelling breath, etc. Local povidone-iodine with saline wash and adequate antibiotics can help regress the infection.
