Hi Bryanna,
Thank you for your reply. It was an oral surgeon who removed my tooth. I guess the root tip was too imbedded in the bone an it also had a root canal post. It was a difficult extraction and could hear the tooth break, and at one point he used the drill. Calling first thing in the morning!

It is usually not a good thing to leave any piece of the tooth behind as it can be a chronic source of infection. Depending on where the piece is located, it could migrate in to your sinuses.
If you did not see an oral surgeon for your extractions, it would be wise to see on now to evaluate that area clinically and radio graphically. If you did see an oral surgeon, then go back to him and have him evaluate it.
You do not have to have pain when there is an oral infection if the infection is draining. If the area swells up and can no longer drain, then pain will set in.
I would not wait to see the oral surgeon.
