This sounds like a sign of infection, or at least tissue damage. You should see your dentist again, or your doctor if you would have to wait more than a day for an appointment. This is something that should probably be treated with antibiotics. At worst, there would be a simple procedure to drain any fluid or remove any damaged tissue. Either way, it should be looked at very soon, before it spreads. Bone infections are very dangerous and very hard to treat. And since your teeth connect directly to bone, an infected area there could easily spread to bone. And not necessarily the jaw. The bacteria will find a weak spot. If may start in the mouth but end up in the leg. See your dentist or family doctor.

If your underage and you smoke can tell dentist tell?
Yes, the dentist can tell. Smoking yellows the teeth, you have bad breath, and smell of smoke. Smokers don't realize how much they smell, but a nonsmoker can smell the smoke on clothing and other items. I would get homework in from my students who lived around smokers and the papers would smell. Quit now before you damage your body further and loose dates because you smell.

Why cant you smoke after wisdom teeth pulled?
Its mostly because the sucking action you need to do to smoke a cigarette. Sucking on anything can cause a blood clot to come out prematuraly. If that happens it could cause dry socket. Dry Socket only happens in 5% of all tooth extractions. I know a lot of people that smoked the same day as tooth extractions. Just be very careful if you must and rinse out your mouth after. Just plain water on the same day and warm salt water the days after that. The salt will minimize bacteral growth... so the more the better. Just dont swish it around your mouth too hard.

How can you see a cavity in your back tooth?
The best way to know if you have a cavity is to see your dentist for a check-up. He or she will look for little spots on each surface of your teeth to see is there are small holes with bacterial activity. But sometimes cavities are hidden and can only be detected on X-rays.
Cavities don't always cause pain. When they are at a stage that you can see them or feel them, they might have reached an advanced state.
It may sound abseloutely ridiculous but if it really, really bad you can call and emergency dentist and get the help you seek immediately!
If it's not to bad and you just want a temporary option you could try it "the old fashioned way" just get a bit of brandy, whiskey or port and rub it on your tooth, it might not taste nice but it really does work! You can also buy temporary fillings or dentistry kits from your local supermarket, If it's bad enough I would arrange an apt at the dentist, it might not be the cheapest option but You will need a check-up at some point anyway
I hope this helps!!
Do need antibiotic for a pulled tooth?
Not necessarily. It depends on your health status and how complicated the extraction is (i.e. surgical extraction of a wisdom tooth). Usually your body is able to heal itself and if you keep your mouth clean and follow the dentists instructions you should not have any complications after an extraction.
