Hi apgicg,
If your description is accurate, then you need to see an "oral surgeon" to have the site surgically debrided and resutured. There is nothing you can do on your own to remedy this type of infection. Even though it is the weekend, call the surgeon and leave a message with his service.

I asked the doctor if he cleaned the area out, but in looking at it, I don't see that he did. It is the most horrible looking thing. Now this is GROSS, but I have a hole in my mouth filled with puss and no instructions on how to get rid of it other than a 3rd round of anti-biotics. Can anyone help me?
