It is best to go back to the surgeon and let him take a look. If it is plaque, it can be removed and you would then have to brush a bit more thoroughly around that second molar. But if it is an infection, then it may need some minor intervention.

It is always wise to check these things out with the dentist before they get any worse or turn into something unpleasant.

Hope this information helps....
