    Bruising can be caused by any trauma to the gums or teeth. I had a filling and my right cheek was bruised for almost a week. But when I had five teeth pulled (four were wisdom), I had no bruising.

    Everyone handles trauma differently AND some dentists are more gentle than others. Warm salt water rinses may help. I'd let your dentist have a look at the extraction site though.
