You have to go to the dentist. I used to get that all the time and it kept coming back. They will give you an antibiotic first to kill the infection and then will do any necessary dental procedure to prevent it from coming back. Make sure you get that taken care of. If not the infection can spread. Plus all the pus that keeps coming out is poison and it's not good for you.

That is an infection. Either your gums are infected or your tooth is infected. This means you either need aggressive cleaning by a dentist or their hygienist (if the gum is infected) or a root canal on a tooth (if the tooth is infected). Go in and get it checked out. Either way, it is an infection and you need to have it treated as soon as possible so it doesn't get worse!

Go to the dentist, 1st thing tomorrow morning. You have an abcess and need to get on antibiotics. You will then need a root canal and crown to save the tooth. Don't let this infection go untreated or you will end up in the ER.

It's an abscess, for sure. But I don't understand how toe abscess if there after the tooth was moved. I had one when I was younger but it was on a baby tooth. When the tooth was removed, the abscess went away. I'm sure it's just the infection leaving the body.

Go see your dentist soon. I had something similar and just how Rachel told you, he prescribed me antibiotics and scheduled me for a cleanin, I also brushed everyday!
PLEASE GO!
