    If you have that much infection in your mouth, and impacted teeth left for a long time can cause infection to go to other parts of your body, I would go to emergency right away and have it dealt with.

    Yes it could be something serious. Were they extracted by a professional. Sounds like it was done by a hack to be quite honest if your mouth is that bad off.

    Definitely go to emerg. To help stop the bleeding bite down on a wet tea bag folded in half. Definitely sounds like you need antibiotics.
