Has anyone had a infection after having their wisdom teeth removed?

Question: I recently had 6 teeth out, 4 were wisdom teeth and the 2 bottom ones were impacted. I have had no pain and brush my teeth regularly (like morning and after every meal and before bed). When i open my mouth everything seems to look ok apart from one (bottom impacted) where the site is a little pink and looks slightly swollen. I have tried to call the oral surgeon who extracted my teeth, but she is on holiday! if this sounds familiar to you, can you please tell me what you think? There in no pain at all.

Answers:
Your general dentist can take a look if the surgeon does not have someone else to take calls.

"A little swollen and pink" sounds quite normal to me, though, especially since you have no pain.
