I had two upper molars extracted 3 weeks ago. The holes are still really deep and still look to have white stuff in them. It may be food particles but I don't won't to be poking about in the hole. Would granulation tissue still be white and present after 3 weeks? If it's food I guess it would get pushed out as it heals?

Thanks

Everyone heals at different rates. Rinse with warm salt water rinses several times and a day and they should continue to heal over the course of the next several weeks / months. I wouldn't be concerned unless you were having pain or swelling.
 
Thanks drm. You've taken the time to answer a few of my questions. It's very much appreciated.
